“President Rodrigo Duterte is not in favor of same-sex marriage, whether it be church or civil.”
What Vera Files found
Roque's claim contradicts Duterte's most recent public statement on the issue, where he explicitly said he was "in favor" of same-sex marriage. Throughout his term, Duterte has taken a nuanced position on the matter -- saying that, while he may be in favor of it, it is not allowed by law.
