President Rodrigo Duterte turned his ire on the Catholic Church Monday, calling members of the clergy “sons of whores” and accusing Davao Archbishop Fernando Capalla of keeping a mistress just like him. “Kaya ito si Capalla, bishop namin doon, pareho man kami may mga kabit din. Mga pari putang-ina, bwisit, mga pamoral moral (This Capalla, our bishop, we’re just the same we both have mistresses. Ladies and gentlemen, may I tell you now, this is an ongoing and recurring problem which will never be stopped by anyone. Duterte has lashed out at the Catholic Church in the past, calling it as the “most hypocritical institution.” CATHERINE S. VALENTE
