Filipinos on Monday criticised President Rodrigo Duterte for kissing a woman on the lips during a meeting with the Filipino community in Seoul during an official visit to South Korea. Duterte gave out a copy of a book on alleged corruption in the Catholic Church in the Philippines to the crowd onSunday, saying a woman should get it because he wanted a kiss in exchange. The 73-year-old president gave one of the women a peck on the cheek, but signalled to the other woman that hewanted a kiss on the lips. But can you tell him that this is just a joke?”Duterte was heard telling the woman before kissing her on the lips and embracing her afterwards. While the crowd at the meeting cheered and laughed, other Filipinos took to social media to criticise Duterte’s act.
