Women are competent but they ‘melt’ – Duterte

AMID criticisms hurled against him over his supposedly misogynistic behavior, President Rodrigo Duterte has tried to appease his critics by saying he believes women are competent and capable, but could not stand “threats and intimidation.”

In his remarks in Davao City on Thursday night, Duterte said he still trusted the capabilities and competence of women, but stressed that some jobs were not for them.
