I recommend one or two of the bishops take it also," Duterte said, using the local term for crystal meth, the country's most-used illegal drug. Duterte, who has previously boasted about keeping multiple mistresses, also sought to discredit Church leaders by accusing them of violating their own vows of celibacy. Duterte also accused the country's Church leaders of plotting to "suppress" the public exhibition of an unspecified film that he said tackled the subject of "homosexuality of priests". Duterte spoke at length to defend his anti-drugs campaign during a visit to a hospital in the northern Philippines that was aired on television. Church leaders say they are not plotting to oust Duterte, rather to just stop the killings.
