Sky News Australia television presenter Paul Murray on his April 19 commentary program showed Duterte with his infamous joke about the r_pe in 1989.

The leading presidential candidate was lambasted earlier by critics because of his remark to the late Australian missionary Jacqueline Hamill to which he then apologized.

Earlier Duterte’s remark was also reported by foreign news organizations such as the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Singapore-based The Straits Time, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and Gawker.
Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon earlier aired her wants to push the code of conduct for all the candidates after Duterte’s controversial remarks.
Meanwhile, on Friday, Duterte assured the members of the Iglesia ni Cristo that their rights and welfare will be taken care of if he is elected president.
