Gone too far?

THE President has committed another blunder, though it’s always through his mouth, this time it’s not some ruthless remark but a kiss to a married woman.

In front of a cheering crowd on Sunday, June 3, during a town hall-style meeting with overseas Filipino workers in South Korea, Duterte sought a kiss from the woman after he called her on stage to give her a copy of a book at the event in Seoul.

When Duterte asked if she can explain to her husband that the antic was just a joke, and she said yes, the president leaned in and kissed her as thousands erupted in ch eer s.

The scene was beamed live by the state-run TV network to the Philippines.

While the woman has defended the kiss and said she was thrilled by her encounter, others said the president went too far.

It’s not a question if we should condemn him for his action because it’s clearly unethical. And it’s also not wrong to be mad at him, especially that our upbringing as Filipinos has always been traditional which means to abide by the rules, and respect relationships.

It doesn’t affect his good leadership and how well he is performing as president but we should still take into account discipline.

And being a leader that goes around to represent the country, it is just to stick to being mindful.

It’s a good thing to be comedic but it’s another thing to be respectful and be respect ed.
