That’s according to Philippines Social Welfare Assistant Secretary Lorraine Badoy who defended Duterte’s standing in Time magazine’s Top 100 Men and Women for 2017 survey, where he leads Vladimir Putin, Mark Zuckerberg, Justin Trudeau and Bill Gates. The final ‘Time 100’ list will be published on April 20.
“Plus 9 out of 10 Filipinos right now approve of him.” She added “Wrap your dim minds around that, you clowns. Nine out of ten.”
Anyone with a “teaspoon of IQ on them” would wait for Duterte to make a “huge error” before trying to topple him, she claimed.
“Then and only then would it be the time to let your cash flow to pay the EU idiots with galls as huge as Goodyear blimps to call for the president’s resignation,” she said, adding in Filipino that “those in the EU, just engage in online child pornography. Since that’s what you are good at.”
The warning comes as the EU condemns Duterte’s plan to revive the death penalty for drug convictions. The European Parliament has called for an international investigation into “unlawful killings and other violations” in the Philippines linked to Duterte’s war on drugs, while Duterte has told the EU MPs to mind their own business.

Social Welfare Secretary Judy Taguiwalo said that the assistant secretary’s comment was “obviously sarcastic” and she was not advocating child pornography, reported Rappler.
“Asec Badoy loves children and cares about their welfare, so to even imply that she trivializes the issue is unfair and misleading. She is an outspoken critique of social injustice, and we have no doubt as to her stand against child pornography,” Taguiwalo said in a statement, according to InterAksyon.
Badoy, a former human rights advocate and NGO worker, was appointed to implement medical assistance to drug addicts in rehab after her online activism caught the president’s eye.
The Philippines banned a number of x-rated websites at the beginning of 2017 as part of a wider child-porn crackdown.
