In a press conference of President Duterte in Malacanang, November 19, 2019, Duterte said to VP Robredo to invite the Canadian human rights advocate Phelim Kine in Malacanang so he can slap him right in front of her.
This statement from Duterte was about a tweet in Twitter some days ago about saying to VP RObredo that his bags are packed and ready to arrest President Duterte when he arrives in the Philippines.
Dear VP @lenirobredo - my bags are packed and I'm ready to come to the #Philippines to help advise how to end this murderous "drug war." Meanwhile here is my Recommendation No. 1: Arrest #Duterte and his henchmen for inciting & instigating mass murder https://t.co/adVEP2lTsq https://t.co/FpxxCT7jIn

Vice President Robredo and Phelim Kine apparently talked about the alleged extra judicial killings in the Philippines. Perhaps in a call or in person there was no details yet as of now. But one thing for sure in the eyes of the Philippine public, that this two persons must have been talked and discussed about what could be done to Duterte about his alleged human rights violation in the country. And the Canadian human rights advocate Phelim Kine was prompt to decide that come or hell or high water he will come to the Philippines to arrest Duterte.
Phelim Kine was with the HRW, Humn Rights watch for eleven years. He is advocating human rights to countries in Asia, particularly, Indonesia, China, Cambodia and Tawian. Here is some info from his website:
Before joining PHR, Kine spent 11 years at Human Rights Watch (HRW) doing research and advocacy in countries including Afghanistan, China, Indonesia, and the Philippines; between 2012 and 2018 he was deputy director of HRW’s Asia division. Prior to becoming a human rights researcher and advocate, Kine was an Asia-based foreign correspondent, including in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, and Taiwan. Kine is a long-time Myanmar-watcher and advocate for democracy and human rights for all of Myanmar’s people.
The Department of Foreign Affairs has already ordered ban to Phelim Kline to enter the Philippines. Press Secretary Salvador Panelo had already told the media that no advocate who is welcome in the country to investigate if he or she had already a conclusion that Duterte is already guilty with extra judicial killings.
Meanwhile, Robredo told the media that there was no invitation from her office for Phelim Kline to go to the Philippines.
Duterte said in the press conferecne that the Canadian human rights advocate did not even give chane for the Presidet to be heard.
