‘Save Duterte from hell and save Satan from his potty mouth’


Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte gestures as he answers questions from the press at Manila International Airport on March 23, 2017. Duterte warned he may impose martial law and suspend elections for tens of thousands of local posts, fuelling concerns about democracy under his rule. Duterte said he was considering both measures as part of his controversial campaign to eradicate illegal drugs in society, and that martial law would also solve a range of other security threats. / AFP PHOTO / NOEL CELIS.

MANILA: After being called  the “queen” of  hell,  detained Senator  Leila de Lima shot back at President Rodrigo Duterte,  saying  she  hopes  the President  would be saved  from hell “so that Satan may be saved from his potty mouth.”

While  Duterte  was in Thailand,  the senator  said, she  was hoping  that the President “during a lucid, Fentanyl-free interval”  would be  enlightened like the way Gautama Buddha achieved enlightenment.
