PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday rejected a demand for a public apology after calling God “stupid.”

“I will not do that, not in a million years,” Duterte told reporters during a media interview in Bohol.

Duterte made the statement after evangelist Bro. Eddie Villanueva of the Jesus Is Lord church called on the President to issue a public apology for insulting God in his recent speech.





Villanueva said that he sent a letter to Duterte expressing the Christian organization’s dismay over his controversial remarks and asking him to apologize publicly to God.

Duterte has drawn flak after calling God “stupid” as he mocked the creation story in the Bible.

The President questioned why God should create “something perfect” only to “destroy” it later with the original sin committed by Adam and Eve.

Christian groups were outraged by the remarks of the President who was unfazed and maintained his position on the matter. CATHERINE VALENTE
