Mayor Rodrigo Duterte bags the endorsement of the women’s group Gabriela Party-list on Sunday, 28th of February and spoke favorably of the former.

Luz Ilagan
Gabriela Party-list Rep. Luz Ilagan said criticisms of Duterte’s philandering ways was mainly attributed by media hype.
Womanizing, kissing: most of that is media hype. .. Even if he says that I am a womanizer, may mga girlfriend, remember that the mayor is already separated. His marriage has been annulled.
“Controversies will naturally arise against Duterte as he vies for the country’s highest electoral post. But the public, she said, should also focus on Duterte’s achievements and abilities,” Ilagan further added.
To quote Ilagan from the article posted at ABS-CBN’s website and reads, “I personally even say that look beyond the words, look beyond the actions. Focus on what he has done, what he can do, what he is still doing that will benefit our people.”
It can be recalled that GABRIELA once lambasted Mayor Duterte for his womanizing ways and released a strongly worded statement in airing their disapproval of Duterte and said:
Womanizing and treating women as objects are an affront to women and it should not be flaunted. These reek of machismo, reinforces the society’s low regard of women and consequently increases women’s vulnerability to violence and abuse.
But Gabriela Party-list Rep. Luz Ilagan explained that their criticisms against Duterte were “principled criticisms” and that is water under the bridge now as the latter already acknowledged this.
Interestingly, Mayor Duterte and GABRIELA attended the forum of the Women for Action on Sunday.
The article posted in ABS-CBN said that the women’s groups in the gathering shared with Duterte the issues they find relevant, including peace, good governance and equal employment opportunities.
Perhaps, having the avenue to communicate did the trick as Duterte also promised to study the divorce bill that they are pushing, Rep. Ilagan told Bonna Pamplona of ABS-CBN News. You may watch the video here.
What can you say about this development?

This proved to be NOT TRUE after all! As Gabriela officially stated later that Luz Ilagan, who is now running as Davao City councilor under Duterte’s local political party made the self-serving pronouncement contrary to the ideals of Gabriela.

Duterte later on, also made the pronouncement that he is NOT PRO-DIVORCE and will not endorse passing of a divorce law.

Most of the ones who heavily criticized Mayor Rody Duterte on his comment on rape are his opponents and supporters. Shame on them! Are they that desperate to make a mountain out of a mole hill? It was a PECADILLO! Why are they using it as their weapon to discredit the honorable mayor? Are they that perfect and sinless? Wow! Why don’t they look at themselves on the mirror and see if they’re perfect…and can walk on water without sinking (if they can) then let them be the first one to cast the first stone on Mayor Rody…SHAME! SHAME ON THOSE WHO TRIED TO MALIGN THE CHARACTER OF THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES!

Bakit noong election na candidato si Erap, Hindi nag salita ang Gabriela group?
Gabriela, please be consistent in your principle and advocacy.
No to divorce because its break the marriage contracts that man live with a woman as husband and wife forever only death can separate them. If the divorce become the law, most couple when they were not comfort each other of living together they were file a divorce as easy as it is. So therefore the sanctity of marriages has no longer effective and it breaks the law of God. The marriage contarct is the Law that govern, guide, protect and should be observed of the couples while living together with thier children in order to maitain the holiness of this married sacrament to have a perfect, happy and one family. Why we got married and at the end you will separated.

Malapit na election eh,and they see no matter what Duterte is people’s choice,Kaya tagilid sila,Kaya balimbing na
