MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Malaca\u00f1ang said Tuesday it is unfair to point at President Rodrigo R. Duterte as the one behind the threats allegedly received by some clergymen.<\/p>\n

In a briefing, Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said the threats could be from various sources, including critics of the Duterte administration, enemies of priests, or pranksters.<\/p>\n

“It is unfair to be pointing to the President as behind it,” Panelo said.<\/p>\n

He said that while the President criticizes the Catholic Church in some of his speeches, these are in general and are not directed at any specific individual.<\/p>\n

“Wala naman siyang pini-<\/em>pinpoint\u00a0na<\/em>\u00a0specific individual, except\u00a0iyong nag-abuso sa kaniya na namatay na<\/em>\u00a0(He does not pinpoint any specific individual, except the one who abused him, who is already dead),” Panelo said.<\/p>\n

Duterte, he said, has already warned against attacking priests and bishops.<\/p>\n

“Iyong si Presidente ganoon ang istilo<\/em>\u00a0(That’s the President’s style) ever since. And yet look at the survey,\u00a0tinanggap na siya ng tao<\/em>\u00a0(people have accepted him),” he said.<\/p>\n

The President earlier warned impostors using his name and claiming to be working for the Presidential family, to leave religious leaders alone since they have \u201cnothing to do with politics.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
