Manila. The Philippines' president-elect Rodrigo
Duterte described the Catholic Church as the country's "most
hypocritical institution" on Sunday (22/05) and said he was ready to
take on senior Filipino bishops to debate their wrongdoings before he
takes office next month.
The tough-talking 71-year-old has yet to be proclaimed the May 9 poll winner, but an unofficial vote count by an election commission-accredited watchdog showed a huge lead over his rivals, three of whom conceded defeat. He is due to take office on June 30.
