President Rodrigo Duterte unleashes a scathing criticism of former President Cory Aquino, saying her popularity was due to how her husband died.
[With Cory Aquino, it's like this]. Cory Aquino may be popular. She is popular today. Why? For losing the husband in the hands of Mr. Marcos. But what is the fundamental reason why."
He added,"To the many — to those who really wanted to be freed from Marcos, that’s another feeling, maybe of gratitude."He went on to say Aquino excluded Hacienda Luisita, her family's sugar estate, from the land reform program.Hindi niya sinali ‘yung kanya [She didn't include her property]. She exempted her… So you ...what? The one who freed, emancipated… It’s incongruity, they call it."
