President Duterte slammed Iceland last night for initiating the resolution urging the United Nations Human Rights Council to probe the human rights situation in the Philippines and the government’s controversial drug war.
Duterte said that other countries can’t seem to understand that illegal drugs are flooding the country and that he has to do something about it.
“Hindi maintindihan ng mga p****g i***g ‘to na may problema tayo,” he said. “Itong mga g****g…they don’t understand the social, economic, political problems of the Philippines,” he added.
Duterte said Iceland does not understand the plight of the Philippines since the only problem of Iceland, a country consisting of some 130 active and inactive volcanoes, is ice.
“Iceland, ano ang problema ng Iceland? Ice lang. That’s your problem, you have too much ice and there is no clear day or night there. Parang alas kwatro ng hapon ang araw pati gabi,” he said.
“So you can understand why there is no crime, there is no policemen either, and they just go about eating ice,” he added.
Malacañang earlier in the day called Iceland’s resolution as one-sided, narrow, and partisan, adding that it demonstrates how Western countries are “scornful” of the Philippines’ sovereign exercise of protecting its people.
Presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo said the resolution was designed to embarrass the Philippines before the international community and the global audience. (Argyll Geducos)
