Duterte: Philippines Willing to Accept Refugees Until 'Filled to the Brim'
ABS-CBN News ^ | Nov 18 2016

Posted on 11/18/2016 11:27:08 AM PST by nickcarraway

President Rodrigo Duterte sees no problem accepting refugees from conflict-torn parts of the world even if the Philippines gets “filled to the brim.”

Duterte made this announcement even as he slammed the West, which he said has been keen on reprimanding him over his human rights records but has not displayed enough compassion for refugees who are mostly from conflict-ridden Middle Eastern and African countries.

“They can always come here and we will welcome them until we are filled to the brim. It’s alright,” Duterte said in an interview with Al Jazeera’s 101 East.

“They (Western countries) build a wall, barbed wire, and now the hypocrisy is there, staring at us eyeball to eyeball.”

More power to him! Let’s send them his way!

I hope his island doesn’t flip over and capsize.

President Duterte: Even if they are Muslims? You’ve got a pretty good insurgency going there.

He wants to flood muslims into a Catholic nation, given the long standing problems the Philippines has with muslims already? He is a bad man, to put it mildly.

as for Moslems, they have conquered 57 countries already (by this very means of mass scale invasion, “immigration” )

so even if 20 of those countries are in conflict, wars, terrorist attack zones.................they still have plenty of places to move, if they wish, without taking over USA, Europe, UK, Canada, Australia, or Phillipines

plenty of places

Excellent- they are welcome to them- Better start issuing the phillipino women and children rape kits, and get plenty of psychiatrists there because your citizens are going to be mentally scarred for life after you import the gangs of muslim rapists who will take over your country- Don’t believe us? Just look at Germany- Switzerland etc— Oh- and get your excuses to give the rape victims ready so that you can ‘justify’ your decision to fill your country with criminals (Nope- not saying every muslim refugee is a criminal- but a good many are as evidenced in Europe- that is an undeniable fact!)

Is he not still paying viginante groups to hunt and kill drug dealers and kidnappers? Last I heard, yes he is. I saw an article of a Filipino married couple, who have as a team, killed over 50 people at $1000. a kill. The CBCP is ‘alarmed’ about it. Obama expressed the same alarm, and got slammed in the press by Duarte, calling Obama ‘the son of a whore!”.
I wonder if this guy has all his marbles, Duarte, I mean.

Islands
7000 of them.
Many are a bit difficult to live on.

Crazy like a fox.
He’s safe.
Nobody is going to take him up on the offer, and he gets to morally preen for free.
None of those refugees want to go to a third-world place like the Philippines.
Heck, that whole problem with people camping in Calais, France, trying to sneak into Britain is because they don’t like FRANCE, because there actually are paying jobs in Britain.

Some Filipino newsman the other day said that after Duterte was elected there hasn’t been a slow news day in the Philippines.
