Lawmakers puzzled by Duterte's inconsistencies
The Philippine Star
|November 18, 2024
Members of the quad committee of the House of Representatives have noted several inconsistent or contradictory statements made by former president Rodrigo Duterte when he faced the panel last Nov. 13.
-
"I myself have actually been puzzled by his inconsistencies. I can't explain why...he's like that. We should probably have an in-depth assessment and evaluation of the context of his replies," overall quad chairman Rep. Robert Ace Barbers said.
"It's very difficult to determine whether he is joking, serious and truthful or just being witty and humorous.
He is very difficult to read," Barbers said.
Among the contradictions he noted was Duterte's challenge to the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate him the soonest, but then said he would not yield to any foreign agent or judge, preferring to be judged by Filipinos and incarcerated in the Philippines.
