Duterte belittles CHR reproach, says rape joke 'freedom of expression'

PRESIDENT-elect Rodrigo Duterte slammed the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) for being “too naïve” and “too simplistic,” following its resolution against his rape joke, which, he said, was an exercise of his “freedom of expression.”

“They shouldn’t push for it,” Duterte said Thursday in a news conference in Davao City. “They’ll be humiliated.”
