Don't take Duterte's rape joke seriously, says Philippine palace
Gabriela party-list Representatives Emmi de Jesus and Arlene Brosas on Friday said President Rodrigo Duterte's latest rape joke conveyed "yet again a very dangerous and distorted message."
Mr. Duterte told his audience in Mandaue City on Thursday night that rape cases were high in Davao City because his hometown had many beautiful women.
"We strongly condemn this latest flamboyant display of misogyny, which places more women at risk of rape," the lawmakers said in a joint statement.

Philippine president Duterte says Davao has most number of rape cases due to their beautiful women
During his speech at the celebration of Mandaue City's charter day, Pres. Rodrigo Duterte made yet another scathing jest: attributing the high number of rape cases in his hometown, Davao City, to the locals' beauty.
"Several beautiful women, therefore several rape cases," he reportedly said.
Davao City ranked first among major cities in the country with the highest number of reported rape cases at 42, followed by Quezon City with 41, Manila, 32, Cagayan De Oro City, 24, and Zamboanga City, 21, according to data released by PNP.

SEOUL - South Korea said on Friday it will dispatch special envoys to the North Korean capital on September 5 to discuss the timing of a summit between the two countries' leaders expected to take place later in the month.

The South had earlier on Friday proposed sending the envoys, and the North accepted, Kim said.

Cambodian court jails Australian filmmaker for 6 years for espionage
PHNOM PENH - A Cambodian court jailed an Australian filmmaker for six years on Friday after finding him guilty of espionage for flying a drone over an opposition party rally.
James Ricketson, 69, was arrested last June after he was photographed flying the drone above the rally organised by the now-dissolved opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) before communal elections.
Ricketson was charged with espionage, although it remains unclear for whom he was spying. His family called the court sentence an "absolute tragedy".

MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte has said graft and illicit drugs were so entrenched in the Philippines that if he were not around, it would be better off run by a dictator such as late strongman Ferdinand Marcos.
In a speech on Thursday (Aug 30), Mr Duterte reiterated that he wanted to quit before his term ends in 2022, but was reluctant to hand power to Ms Leni Robredo, the Vice-President who was elected separately and was not his running mate.
