Duterte comedy: 3 wicked relationship quotes that made us laugh

While he is known for saying the darndest (for lack of a better word) things that cause international uproars, President Rodrigo Duterte has moments where he could give stand-up comedians a run for their money.

At the 3rd Sulong Pilipinas Convention held on Tue, Oct 4, at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati City, Duterte had the crowd in stitches with his adlibbed comments about relationships.

Here are the three comments that appeal to people’s wicked (some would call it politically incorrect) sense of humor:

1. “If I court someone, will they reciprocate my feelings? Nobody will. I’m old. I’m 71. They are only after my money. Would they still want my body? What would my body give to them?”

2. “The problem is once you have positioned yourself, you no longer have the bullet train of Japan; people of our age only have the western train of the cowboys.”

3. “This is the only train in the world that can go backwards. Once you restart, it does not work anymore.”
