After his father allegedly threatened a party-list legislator with physical harm, Rep. Paolo Duterte on Wednesday said lawmakers should not be onion-skinned.
“We all have the right to file a complaint against anyone in court. But public servants should not be onion-skinned and should not make use of this right as a tool to silence critics,” Duterte said. “Besides, the onion skin doctrine even in libel cases does not give license to anyone to issue death threats. Legitimate criticism of public officials are valid but what Duterte did was not criticism but threats. Also, such a doctrine neither discounts nor diminishes the right of persons to life and safety ,” she added.
Duterte gave on-air advice to his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, about how she could use intelligence and confidential funds allocated to her office and the education department, which she also heads.
