Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — There seems to be no end in sight yet to the tiff between Davao City Mayor Rodrigo “Rody” Duterte and some members of the Catholic clergy over a controversial statement involving Pope Francis and the traffic jam during the recent papal visit to the Philippines.
This time around, Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo called out Duterte on Thursday (December 3) to give details about his claims that he was sexually abused by a priest during his high school days at the Ateneo de Davao.
In a statement, Pabillo said Duterte should “stop the drama” and instead elaborate on his allegations.
“If there’s a mistake committed against him, he must reveal it immediately,” Pabillo said so that complaints or charges can be filed against the alleged priest involved.
