Duterte says sorry to God

President Rodrigo Duterte has apologized to God during his meeting with Jesus is Lord leader Bro. Eddie Villanueva, Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo revealed.

In an interview with DZMM, Panelo said that during the meeting between the two, Villanueva clarified that his earlier request for public apology was “not to the people nor to the religion, but to God.”

Duterte responded by apologizing to God: “Sorry, God, hindi ka kasama dito, you’re not included.”

The president explained to Villanueva that his ‘stupid God’ remark was due to Patricia Fox, an Australian nun who was using religion in “violating the law.”

Duterte added that his God “all forgiving and all kind” and not one to “create chaos and discredit others.”

Panelo said that Villanueva was “elated” over Duterte’s explanation and understood the context behind his comment.

Following the meeting, Duterte is also set to meet with Davao Archbishop Romulo Valles, head of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, this week.
