President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday lashed out at religious critics, calling them hypocrites like the United States during a Christmas gathering in Davao City.
"Kita mo sila, sige sila ug shagit, wala naman silang ginagawa. Wa man pud muhatag ang simbahan miski ug isa ka... Dako man na ang kontribusyon sa mga tao, sige ug ampo ug grasya nga wa pud muabot. Maniwala ka niyang relihiyon. Maniwala kayo. Ay sus. Kolekta lay maayo diha. Kay totoo pa na naay tinuod nga mensahe, muhatag ka ug kwarta, kinsa may wa muampo na mamilyonaryo? Mamilyonaryo tang tanan [Look at them, they just keep on shouting, they are not doing anything. The church did not even give a single... The people have a lot of contribution, they keep on praying but the graces never came. Do not believe in religion. Do not believe. They are only good in collecting (money). If the message is true, then we give money, who here never prayed to become a millionaire? We should have all become millionaires]," he said at a Christmas gathering with barangay officials in Davao City.
"Gaya ng iba. Magpamasahe ka lang diha, suroy ka, pabuthon ka. Aha naman ilang giingon na Diyos ug grasya nila? I mean, there is God. But be careful about religion. Kwarta kwarta lang na. Kagwapo ug bisti, mga ginaana na mga gold [Like the others. They were just out for a massage, they went around, but they were hit by an explosion. Where is the God and the graces they are talking about? I mean, there is God. But be careful about religion. It's all about the money. They have nice vestments, and they raise a gold chalice]," he added as he raised his glass as if it was a chalice. Some members of the audience laughed.
"Wala ako mag-atake but the hypocrisy of it all. Pareho lang na ug America [I am not attacking but the hypocrisy of it all. They are just like America]," Duterte continued.
This was not the first time that Duterte hit his religious critics, which include leaders of the Catholic Church.
In September, he told religious critics not to use God in arguing against him.
