MANILA, Philippines — Majority of Filipinos consider President Rodrigo Duterte’s highly controversial “God is stupid” remark and joke about Davao City rape cases “vulgar,” a Social Weather Stations survey released Saturday found. Amid simmering backlash, Duterte vowed to immediately resign if Christians can prove that their God exists through a selfie. He later apologized to God. More than a month after insulting God, Duterte stirred a hornet’s nest anew after he made light of reported rise in rape cases in Davao City, saying the spike in numbers was inevitable due to the many beautiful women in the locality that he governed for more than two decades.
