I am sorry in general. I am sorry for the Filipino people. It is my style. It is my mouth. I said that in the heat of anger, but listen to the story behind. <em>‘Wag kayo basta-basta paambak-ambak dyan </em>[Don’t just readily fall for anything].”</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">He added he was not making a joke as he was telling the story during his sortie in a narrative form.</p><br/><div class="easy-ads"><div class="easy-ads-lite easy-ads-lite-bidvertiser-middle"><br/><br/></div><br/></div><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">“It was not a joke, I said it in a narrative. I was not smiling. I was just talking plain sense narrative,” he said.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">At the same time, Duterte— who recounted how he was willing to exchange himself for the hostages— said he won’t apologize for something which he said in the heat of the moment and which reflected his genuine anger.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">“I am even willing to lose the presidency. Do not make me apologize for something which I did <em>na talagang </em>[when really] it was called for at the moment. I can lose Gabriela (Party-list) and all, <em>wala akong pakialam </em>[I don’t care]. <em>Sabi ko sa inyo </em>[I told you], I will not die if I do not become president but certainly as a matter of honor, I will stick to my guns. I said it in the heat of anger,” he said.</p><br/><p style="text-align: justify;">View full interview via the <a href="http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/779961/duterte-apologizes-to-filipinos-for-gutter-language-over-1989-rape-slay-of-foreign-missionary">Philippine Daily Inquirer</a>:</p><br/><p><iframe width="620" height="465" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dm835bxNyjk?feature=oembed" frame allowfullscreen></iframe></p><br/><p><a href="http://kickerdaily.com/unapologetic-duterte-sorry-for-gutter-language-says-rape-joke-uttered-out-of-anger/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a></p><br/><div class="easy-ads"><div class="easy-ads-lite easy-ads-lite-bidvertiser-bottom" style="display:block;text-align:center;"><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block;" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3942681860132668" data-ad-slot="4831328630" data-ad-format="auto"></ins><br/></div><br/></div>
