Gabriela slams Duterte for watching Netflix amid unresolved problems

The Gabriela Alliance on Sunday slammed President Rodrigo Duterte for supposedly spending too much time off-work amid unresolved problems that Filipinos face daily.

This was after a photo of the President watching a film on Netflix while at home in Davao City surfaced over the weekend.

"Anong klaseng presidente itong limang araw na nakapahinga at papetiks-petiks habang ang taumbayan ay 'di magkandaugaga sa pagtaas ng singil sa kuryente, kawalan ng regular na suplay ng tubig, nagtataasang presyo ng bilihin at iba pang atake sa kabuhayan?" Gabriela Secretary General Joms Salvador said in a statement.

Duterte has not been seen the entire work week since attending the opening of the Palarong Pambansa on Sunday.

Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said Duterte was busy with paperwork in Davao City.

But Duterte's photo in Davao City does not sit well with Gabriela.

"Kung gusto ni Duterte na mag-relax at manood ng Netflix, mag-resign na lang siya sa pagkapangulo, nang makapag-relax na rin ang taumbayan sa kahirapan at karahasan na dulot niya," Salvador said.

The Gabriela Women's Party, which is connected with the Gabriela Alliance, has also criticized Duterte for his supposedly misogynistic statements in the past. —LBG, GMA News
