MANILA — Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte admitted that he used to be gay, in an interview\u00a0with comedian Vice Ganda in the\u00a0late-night talk show \u201cGandang Gabi Vice.”<\/p>\n

\u201cBakla ako noon, na-reform lang. (I used to be gay but I was reformed).\u201d<\/p>\n

But asked what he will do if his son turned out to be gay, Duterte said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more of the human dignity than anything else. All human beings are created by God. So reresputuhun mo yung totoong babae o toong lalaki. At kung ito namang isa ay medyo alanganin (You will respect the real women or real men. And if this one is somewhat in the middle)\u2026then he is also a creation of God.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery one deserves to be happy,” Duterte said when asked about his views on same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n

Duterte grooved along dance crazes during the tape episode and shared his thoughts on politics and current issues.<\/p>\n

He, again, reiterated that he will not run for President in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not interested in the presidency. It doesn\u2019t appeal to me,” Duterte said when asked if he is interested to run for president.<\/p>\n

Asked who he should vote among\u00a0Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, Sen. Grace Poe and Vice President Jejomar Binay, Duterte said:<\/p>\n

\u201cKaibigan ko silang lahat. (They’re all my friends. I won\u2019t say \u2018good,\u2019 if they are not good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d rather not state it publicly, baka sumama loob nila saken (they might feel bad and take it against me),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
