“You can forget about the housing there that are being planned by the government,” Duterte said, adding that a Muslim would prefer the pilgrimage over a mansion.
“A simple token of generosity na makapunta sya, maka-Hajj, mas importante sa kanya yan,” the President stressed. The President explained that the P5 million is meant to “enhance the travel” of poor and old Muslims “to fulfill a lifetime dream.” Highlighting the importance of cultural sensitivity, the President challenged COA to be grounded on culture in its actions and decisions.He shared that he started funding pilgrimages for Muslims since he entered Davao City’s politics in 1988. It was a program that is still being continued by his daughter, Mayor Sara Duterte.“Ngayon kung ipareimburse mo yan saan man ako maghanap ng pera eh di magpakulong na lang ako ,” Duterte said.
The President said that Mindanao will revolt if HUDCC chief Eduardo Del Rosario, Mayor Duterte, and himself are imprisoned for this.

kmanlupigINQ A man was jailed for stealing food for his children. The lives of his children are more important than the value of the food he stole. Since he committed a crime, he was still penalized, though it seems his act was justified.
kmanlupigINQ Just like the official junket trip to Japan?
kmanlupigINQ Ang batas ay batas...👊👊👊
kmanlupigINQ Dapat pera mo ang pinagamit jan. Ang iingay nyo tungkol sa Yolanda funds... Tapos pundo para sa Marawi rehab pinagamit mo lng sa iilan. Stupid.
kmanlupigINQ Pagpilgrimage mo kahit sino o kahit silang lahat basta pera mo ungas!
kmanlupigINQ Bobo ng 🤣🤣
kmanlupigINQ
kmanlupigINQ Your Presidunt Dutertard everyone.
kmanlupigINQ This really makes me so angry... Hey, PDuts, for fairness, use people's taxes/funds to support also the religious trips abroad of Christians, Buddhists, Witches, etc.
kmanlupigINQ Taena niyo INQUIRER!! Hindi talaga kayo titigil!!
kmanlupigINQ RT teddyboylocsin Wrong. He said, Ask a Muslim what means more to him, house or Hajj. And if he is old tell him the journey will kill him. And he will say he couldn’t end his life better than on a Hajj. Beautiful. I know my Doughty and my Lawrence; so does Duterte...
kmanlupigINQ
kmanlupigINQ Hayayayayay inquirer..
kmanlupigINQ Liar Inquirer!
kmanlupigINQ Pagbalik nila nganga
kmanlupigINQ Hay grabe maka twist ng news. Mema powta .. Fake news pa more!!!
kmanlupigINQ
kmanlupigINQ It's not a matter of what he THINKS is right. What really matters it what THE LAW says is right. He can try to make excuses all he wants, but his actions of defending an illegal act is nothing more than him showing blatant disregard for the law.
kmanlupigINQ kung may BUSTED ang Inquirer ay TWISTED hay naku.
kmanlupigINQ This Moronic-Old-Fart truly isn't 'mentally fit' to rule a nation. if Marawi people voted for him & his candidates & still supporting him ... I think it's GOD's way of reminding HIS Maraonon children what they're missing. Their best weapon now to fight this battle is PRAYERS!
kmanlupigINQ and just like that the Marawi fund turned into Duterte fund for fav people. You condemned PNOY for budget realignment but not this? Asan utak nyo? 😂😂😂
kmanlupigINQ I watched the speech pertaining to Hajj, and your headline was no where near what he really meant about it. You became more of a gossiper!
kmanlupigINQ This reporter is dumb as rock,believe me!
kmanlupigINQ Eto na pati coa sisirain na naman ni duterte! You have laid waste upon the Philippines you chinese puppet!
kmanlupigINQ weh, sino niloloko mo?
kmanlupigINQ Ka bobo at tanga nemen ni writer di mka gets🙄
kmanlupigINQ You have no power to make that decision Mr President
kmanlupigINQ That is true, INQ. It is their belief and their lifelong dream. They’re even willing to die during Hajj. Respect their beliefs. Do not impose upon Muslims of your own religious beliefs
kmanlupigINQ Stupid talaga ang gagong Dutae!
kmanlupigINQ Ano nang nangyari sa separation of church and state? Applicable lang pag Catholic church kasi hindi naman pumapatay pag naoffend?
kmanlupigINQ Disagee housing must be prioritised
kmanlupigINQ Funds should be use according to its original allocation.Unless otherwise specified by the rules where it will be used.
kmanlupigINQ Shame on you sana ipasara rin kayu kasi fake news kayo!!!!
kmanlupigINQ Grabe maka-twist nung Headline. For Muslims, Hajj is very important that they need to do this once in their lifetime.
kmanlupigINQ That's still malversation of funds. It is not intended for any foreign trip. Yolanda catholic victims were not given free trip to Holy Land either.
kmanlupigINQ It does npo matter Mr. President. What matters is what the law says. If it prohibits the diversion of such funds then somebody must be held accountable - rule of law.
kmanlupigINQ Twist nio na naman ang sinabi ng PANGULO😂😂 BALIKTAD TALAGA UTAK NG MGA TAGA INQUIRER😂😂san kea kumukuha ng kabobohan ito lol
kmanlupigINQ Idiot
kmanlupigINQ 🙄🙄👊👊
kmanlupigINQ Another slant reporting from inq. 🙄
kmanlupigINQ Tama naman. Kung tanungin ang ibang Muslim, mas mahalaga ang Hajj. PERO kung ganoon, dapat I-appropriate as travel expense, hindi rehabilitation. Lokohan?
kmanlupigINQ This is a bastardly act of a deranged president.
kmanlupigINQ 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
kmanlupigINQ Intindihin ng maayos idiots dilawan!..puro kayo paninira!..la na kayong nagawang maayos sa bansang pilipinas!..pag uuntugin ko mukha nyo huh!..kupal kayo!..😡😤💪🏻👊🏼🇵🇭
kmanlupigINQ E di wow! Rehab funds and divert pa more.
kmanlupigINQ Hey why not take the side of the victims who preferred to use it for Hajj?
kmanlupigINQ Pera ng bayan yan. Hindi puede gamitin sa religious activities. Malversation ba ang tawag dun?
kmanlupigINQ Twisted news once again!!! Shame!
kmanlupigINQ Oi, hindi ganyan ang sinabi mga animal kayo. BOBONG journalist.
kmanlupigINQ I had to read it twice to make sure na tama ung intindi ko. The money was used for something it was not intended for and the effin President is saying its okay?! Tas magrevolt daw sha pag di pede?! Revolt against whom? E sha nakaupo?!
kmanlupigINQ Aba, sana pera mo ginamit nila dba?! Punyeta ka.
