Reputable GMA 7 news journalist Raffy Time expressed his dismay over President-elect Rodrigo Duterte after catcalling his wife, fellow GMA 7 journalist Mariz Umali during the President-elect’s recently concluded press conference.
Through a Facebook post on late Wednesday (June 1, 2016) evening, Raffy shared his sentiments towards Duterte who apparently whistled and serenaded his wife Mariz during his press conference last Tuesday (May 31, 2016).

“Catcalling My Wife Is Wrong In So Many Levels. I expected that from a Mayor Duterte. I know his reputation well enough not to be shocked by it, but that does not make it right. For someone who espouses leadership by example, catcalling anyone in a press conference with all cameras trained on him defies logic. Then again, thats Mayor Duterte. What appalled me even more was how some people in the room reacted. Most laughed, others made teasing noise and basically urged the mayor to dish some more! And he did. I do hope none of them were journalists because if they were, shame on them. When you see or hear anyone say something wrong you do not encourage it, you do the opposite. Or in that particular instance at least, they should have kept quite and in their silence gave the message that what the mayor did was wrong. Some jokes are funny and should be laughed at… but disrespecting women is definitely not one of them.”
