Rodrigo asked for a kiss from the woman after she was called her on stage to give her a copy of a book at the event in Seoul. Duterte asked if the woman can tell to her husband that the antic was just a joke, and the woman replied yes.
Critics of the Duterte, women’s groups and other politicians are of opinion that the act was misogynistic and an abuse of power.
Sen. Risa Hontiveros on Pres. Duterte kissing an OFW in Seoul: It was a despicable display of sexism and grave abuse of authority. President Duterte acted like a feudal king who thinks that being the President is an entitlement to do anything that he pleases
