Malaca\u00f1ang through Presidential chief legal counsel Salvador Panelo defended that Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle\u2019s \u201carrogant king\u201d remark was not referring to the President and his administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure he is referring to world leaders not from this country. I don\u2019t think this administration feels alluded to or the leaders in this administration. Because I think the actions of this administration speak for themselves,\u201d Panelo said on March 26.<\/p>\n

He then added that President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is a \u201cvery humble person\u201d that has a soft heart that \u201coutraged by any kind of assault on any person or human rights violations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tagle started the Holy Week on Palm Sunday by sharing a homily that branded political leaders as arrogant kings and their followers as blinded. He, however, did not drop any names or hinted any persons. Tagle focused his message to his listeners to recognize Jesus Christ as the true king.<\/p>\n

\u201cSa mundo natin ngayon, namamayagpag ang mga haring puno ng kayabangan, kapos sa kapakumbabaan. Sa panahon natin ngayon, kay dami-raming sumusunod sa mga hari na ang ginagamit ay dahas, armas, pananakot \u2013 kapos na kapos sa pag-unawa at pakikiisa sa mga mahihina<\/em> (In our world today, those in power are kings full of arrogance, lacking in humility. In our time, a lot are following these kings who use violence, arms, terror \u2013 lacking in understanding and unity with the oppressed),\u201d part of his homily said.<\/p>\n

In response to this, Panelo also said, \u201cWe have no initiated violence against innocent people. The police officers only respond to any assault on their lives in the process of arrest. And the President, as always, would not tolerate any police abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe keeps on saying that there will be hell to pay if any violation of human rights is done by any police officer. So, I think Cardinal Tagle is referring to world leaders who are violent and cocky,\u201d the chief legal counsel added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
