President Rodrigo Duterte said he had no intention of staying in power, in reaction to what his critics claimed as he pushed for changes in the Constitution to pave for the shift to the federal form of government, Inquirer reports. The Duterte administration is moving to make changes to the nation’s constitution, to turn the Philippines into a federal state. Critics say it is but a smokescreen to prolong his stay in power, Ana P. Santos reports for Deutshce Welle. Previously, the president called on the army and police to shoot him if he became a dictator and stayed on beyond his term. Meanwhile, Duterte is also facing growing outrage in his largely Catholic nation after calling God “stupid”, the latest furore he has sparked with an unfiltered broadside. Duterte took aim at the biblical creation story during a speech, raising the question of why God would create Adam and Eve and then expose them to temptation.
