As the police killing an unarmed black man sparked widespread outrage across United States, President Rodrigo Duterte takes pride that the Philippines is a nation of law-abiding citizens.
“There’s a riot going on. There’s a riot going on all over and it seems to me that is no end in sight. Mabuti’t na lang hindi tayo ganun at natimingan naman that the Filipinos are really law-abiding,” Duterte said in a speech aired Friday.
The President reminded government agencies to immediately deliver help to those affected by the coronavirus crisis to prevent the same incident from happening in the country.
“Imagine if Amerika ‘to, how can you enforce the lockdown and the sequestration — ah itong quarantine? Buti’t na lang ganun ‘yon so we have to respond to the problem besetting the distribution of assistance to them,” he added.
George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man suspected of using a fake $20 bill, died after Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes as he lay face down.
