Duterte says he's now too old to do more than look at women


President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday said that he now could only appreciate women by looking at them.

Bowing out of office on June 30, Duterte said he could do nothing more because he was too old.

"Ang trabaho ko na lang ngayon magtingin ng magandang babae.  Okay na ako, tingin lang," Duterte said in a speech before the Philippine Postal Office.

"Hindi ako naga-abduct, hindi ako nag-aano. Basta tingin lang kasi matanda na," he added.

Duterte said he thanked God for giving him more years so that he could enjoy the marvels of electronics and gadgets.

He, however, said he was too old to fully take advantage of them.

"Ang problema lang I must confess  am really ignorant of all these things. Hindi nga ako makagamit ng cellphone  na digital," Duterte said.

"Du'n lang ako sa Nokia. 'Yan lang ang gamit ko. Nag-practice ako, isang tuldok ko, tatlong letra ang lumalabas," he added.

He said the brain was no longer "receptive to new learning."

"Kaya lang ako nandito and I marvel at the innovations now... At pasalamat ako sa Diyos na inabot ko, binigyan pa ako ng ilang tao, the marvels of electroncs and digital things," Duterte said. —NB, GMA News
