He said: “Ano kasalanan ko? Nagnakaw ba ako dyan ni piso? Did I prosecute somebody na pinakulong ko? Ang kasalanan ko lang ‘yung mga extrajudicial killing”.
Meanwhile, presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said that the president was not serious about his statement, insisting that he was just “being playful”.
Roque said in a report by GMA News: “That’s the President po being himself, being playful, highlighting the point na hindi siya corrupt.”
“Hindi na naman iyan seryoso ‘no. Sinasabi lang niya iyan, kasi nga palaging sinasabi iyan ang ginagawa niya ano. Pero it’s also na dinidiin lang niya na talagang hindi siya nagnanakaw, pero I don’t think na ang konteksto niyan ay literal,” Roque further explained.
