Duterte, who has several times drawn criticism for sexist comments and rape jokes, on Thursday called jailed Sen. Leila de Lima “bitch”, a term that he has often publicly used to describe women.

At an anti-communist event, Duterte’s rambling speech touched on illegal drugs and he at one point brought up the death due to COVID-19 of convicted drug lord Jaybee Sebastian, who had accused De Lima of accepting payoffs when she was still justice secretary. “She is the only bitch na napaniwala ang mundo na she’s a prisoner of conscience,” Duterte said.

“Binigyan pa ng mga award nitong mga loko-loko na Europeans. Kaya ako galit dyan. Hindi ako makipag-usap, ayoko.” Several US senators and rights groups have called on the government to free De Lima, who has said the drug charges against her were politically motivated over her criticism of the killings under Dutete’s drug war, which his aides deny. Aside from De Lima, Duterte had addressed the female police and army staff at a 2019 event as “puta”, a derogatory term for a prostitute. He has also called UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings Agnes Callamard “son of a bitch” and "stupid".

In November 2020, Duterte and other government officials joked about sex and womanizing during a post-typhoon briefing in calamity-hit Camarines Sur. This prompted a reminder from the Commission on Human Rights that the objectification of women is a form of violence.Marking Women's Month, Duterte on March 8 Duterte said the government can “proudly claim” that it took actions “to create an environment where women's rights are respected and their contributions to society are recognized.
