President Rodrigo Duterte on Friday said that the growing population in the Philippines has aggravated the problem of land distribution.
In a speech during the distribution of Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) in Negros Occidental, Duterte said that Filipinos are "very sexually active," and have six to eight children, even when they're unemployed.
"If we Filipinos weren’t so keen on growing the population, we wouldn’t even have a problem. We can just divide the lands. But you’re very sexually active. You have six, seven, eight children. You are unemployed, so you join the movement instead," he said.
Duterte said he favors of land reform, as well as he plans to give away all government-owned lands to the people.
"I too want land reform and for the poor to improve their lot in life at least during my time. Pero ipit na eh," he said.
"But for my remaining three years, I will give away all government-owned lands to the people. They are of no use to the government anyway ... So I instructed Castriciones to give the lands away to the people because that is one of our most pressing problems," he added. —Jessica Bartolome/LBG, GMA News
