ILOILO CITY — Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque dismissed as “a joke” President Rodrigo Duterte’s statement before Indian businessmen that he would make virgins a “come-on” to foreign investors and visitors to the Philippines. There’s no need to clarify what was really a joke made by the President. If you don’t mind!” Roque said after being asked to comment in a press briefing on Sunday on the sidelines of the Dinagyang Festival. So it’s not just right, I am sure it was a joke. But she was so beautiful, the mayor should have been first, what a waste,” the President said during his campaign.
