This comes as the fallout over President Rodrigo Duterte's analogy between his drug war and the Holocaust continues
A Twitter feed apparently run by the Philippines’ newly appointed ambassador to the U.N., Teddy Locsin Jr., contains several Nazi references made in support of President Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal war on drugs.
The recent Nazi-themed comments, which are now resurfacing in Philippine media, are similar to those made by Duterte last week. (The account they are made from is not verified by Twitter but a Twitter account with the same name is regularly cited in Philippine media as belonging to Locsin.)

Locsin, a former legislator and TV host who claims to be of partly Jewish descent, appears to defend Nazis in several tweets.

The Twitter account also features tweets directed at media and alluding to Nazi Germany or the Holocaust.

The office of the Philippine delegation to the U.N. did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment from TIME.
President Duterte’s brutal war on drugs, which amounts to little more than state-sanctioned extrajudicial killing, has seen more than 3,000 deaths since he took office in June. On Friday, Duterte said, “Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. Now, there are 3 million drug addicts … I’d be happy to slaughter them.”
The last one is definitely sarcasm. He is mocking the US for allowing the innocent black men to die. The first tweets I do not really understand
ReplyDeleteBasically he's saying that the Nazi's were not that bad. Some of them were economic experts. So, even if they burned, tortured, raped and mutilated MILLIONS of people, they're not that bad. LOL Our ambassador to the UN, everyone!
Deletenagpapraktis na rin magmura si tatang teddy. pero mind him, burgis pa din. dahil F**k you at hindi P**I ang pinapraktis niya.
DeleteBiglang nagkaron ng pwesto sa gobyerno
ReplyDeleteTypical pa know-it-all kuno tong si Teddy never namang nagka sense ang pinagsasabi sa teditorial. Pang squatter ang mentality at bibig.
ReplyDeleteSpin it teddy spin it! Kaloka ka rin!
ReplyDelete*facepalm*
ReplyDeleteAno spin it till you make it? Kahiya ka twisting the truth and history tsskk
ReplyDeleteHe's not yet the UN Ambassador. And I think it was a scholarly discussion on twitter. You should read history first before making any judgment. The Nazi did some good thing with the German economy. And slaughtering the Jew was bad for Germany. Einstein being a Jew had to flee to America, his scientific genius leads to the invention of the atomic bomb that America dropped in Hiroshima. Too bad for Germany.
ReplyDeleteyou mean that justifies killing 6 million Jews? Wow! magsama sama kayo! feeling mga intelektwal!
DeleteUhmmm, it wasn't Einstein who invented the atomic bomb. Tama si 3:14, pareho kayong feeling intellectual ni Teddy Boy. Kahit irrelevant o mali ang pinagsasasabi, sasabihin just to appear smart. *roll eyes*
DeleteNag straight english lang kasi kala mo tama na sinasabi. Anong scholarly discussion dyan sa tweets?
DeleteIt was oppenheimer a jewish american physicist not eintein!
Delete4:35 - HE WAS ONE OF THOSE THAT MADE THE BOMB BUT WAS UNAWARE OF WHAT IT WAS GOING TO BE USED FOR.
DeleteShameful. How can Duterte be a president of a county and this bigot be an ambassador?
ReplyDeleteThere is a petition going around to band locsin as u.n. ambassador.
Deletekayo na lang kaya maging presedente tignan natin kung anu magagawa nio sa bansa natin.....
Delete12:39, mas gusutuhin ko na kahit sinong presidente kesa sa bastos na matandang ito. Wala din naman siya alam kung hindi patayan at murahan. Mapapakain ba ng patayan at murahan ang 100M na Filipinos???
DeleteMga tumatandang paurong! Magresign na kayo! Wala kayong ginawa kundi magdulot ng kahihiyan sa pilipinas! Pinatunayan nyo lang na majority ng filipinos are uncivilized!
ReplyDeleteThey need some diplomacy and a filter. Di pwedeng crass sila. Nakakaloka, Duterte ang binoto ko but he needs to have someone to tell him to control his mouth.
ReplyDeleteTeddy is an intelligent man, but he sarcasm can be miscondtrued by a lot of people. In his position, he cannot afford to joke like that. And you cannot associate yourself to Nazis...like ever. Do not even try to mention it.
Duterte had a point during his speech, but his analogy was way off as the Holocaust is a VERY bad example. It only made matters worse.
he is TRASH. your president is trash, kailan ba magigising ang mga pilipino and magsstop electing idiots in power? tapos iiyak kato kasi pabagsak na ng pabagsak ang bansa eh kayo mga bumoto sa mga loko na yan?
ReplyDeleteeh! ikaw anu ba ang naitutulong m sa pinas?
DeleteMATAGAL NA PO KAMING GISING...GISING SA KATOTOHANAN NA KAILANMAN HINDI NA TAYO UUNLAD SAPAGKAT KAHIT ANONG MANGYARI AYAW NATING MAGKAISA.
DeleteTalagang hindi tayo mag kakaisa kung mismong presidente ngayon, hindi asal presidente. Walang alam sa patakbo ng bayan kundi kontra droga at patayan at away lang. Gusto maging self sufficient mga Pinoy, eh nuknukan naman ng mga tamad at walang disiplina din. Asa pa...
DeleteHay, Pegasus yang reply mo eh typical reply ng dutertard. Nagbabayad ako ng tax. Magpakitaan tayo ng ITR ng makita mo kung gaano kalaki ang ipunopondo ko sa gobyerno kada taon. Iba pa yung donation sa mga NGO na nagpapa aral. Eh ikaw? Ano nga ba naitulong mo at ang kapal ng mukha mo magtanong ng ganyan?
DeleteGuys you didn't get his point. It's something like history repeating itself. The difference is that Nazis are racist and very brutal in mass killing innocent lives all at the same time and we are way far incomparable to that. What we have right now is drug war- unlawful elements paying its cost. These occurrences are similar in a way that there is societal purging.
ReplyDeleteWas the analogy necessary to make his point? No. He messed up and apologized because of it.
DeleteKung incomparable why even bring it up?
DeleteThere is no similarity. Hate crime yung sa Nazis, yung sa addicts ay crime under the influence of illegal drugs. Magkaiba yun.
DeleteIto na naman tong mga blind supporters na apologists. Inbes na kumbinsijin nyo kami na tama yang walang modo na yan eh sabihin nyo nalang na mali sya para baguhin nya yung ugali nyang hindi pang sibilisadong tao.
DeleteOh come on!
ReplyDeleteIsa ka pa!
Hay naku po!
Sana manumbalik sa diwa ko yung-
I'm proud to be a Filipino..
Malabo yan for the next 6 years
DeleteAnother dudirty's lapdog!
ReplyDeleteDudirty: alright, teddyboy, on my cue, jump!
ReplyDeleteTeddyboy: how high,sir?
So disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI have always looked up to Teddy Boy Locsin as a free spirited thinker with a lot of logic and principle.
Nakakahiya ang mga representatives ng Pilipinas sa mundo. Backward thinking.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to you, Teddyboy?? I used to look up and admire since grade school.. Sad sad
ReplyDeleteWith that kind of attitude,he doesn't deserve the position. There are others who are more deserving sans Teddy bear's filthy mouth.
ReplyDeleteTeddy, what Hitler and the Nazis did is considered the worst crime against humanity in history. The UN was created precisely because the world does not want the Holocaust to happen again. Kinakahiya ng Germany yan eh ikaw naman iipinagbubunyi mo. Please lang kapag haharap ka na sa UN ay huwag mo na banggitin yan. Bigyan nyo naman ngdidnidad at magandang asal ang bansa natin.
ReplyDeletekayo nlng magpresidente... masmarunong pa kayong taga comment...
ReplyDeleteSabihin mo na lang yung presidente mo na mag resign na lang sya at para ma tahimik na tayo.
DeleteTypical dutertard logic.
DeleteHoy 2:20. Yan ang winiwish nyo kaya wala kayong tigil sa pagde-destabilize.
DeleteYan nga winiwish nla para dilaw na ulit ang president. Tuwangntuwa kayo k gma nung inalis si erap e masahol pa pala sya. Hatak kyo ng hatak pababa kya di umasenso pinas
DeleteLahat ng naging presidente at may kritiko, kung pikon yan presidente mo at hindi nya kaya umayos eh lumayas sya sa malacanang. Hindi ako nagbabayad ng bueis para ipampatay sa ibang tao at bastusin ang buing mundo maliban sa China. Magbabayad ako ng buwis para palayasin ang China sa isla natin.
DeleteI think the last comment or tweet was a joke. It was a smart joke because it highlights police brutality and unjust killings in the US against African Americans. However, it's distasteful. As a UN Ambassador, he should refrain making Nazi jokes. PERIOD. It's tacky. It's distasteful.
ReplyDeletemashado kasi nagmamarunong. Mashadong pa-intellectual. pwe
ReplyDeletemarunong at intellectual sya... hindi ka lang makasabay.
Delete10:45: marunong oo, pero intellectual??? san banda?
DeleteDisgusting old man.
ReplyDeleteJust like his master.
ReplyDeleteDati inis na inis akong makabasa ng "Proud to be Pinoy" sa lahat ng social media platform. 100 days na akong walang nababasa na "Proud to be Pinoy". Nakaka-miss din pala.
ReplyDeletejusko!
ReplyDeleteLahat naman yata ng countries may dark and scary history. Kaya nga pinagaaralan para hindi na maulit eh. Look at Germany and Japan now. Bakit inuungkat at jinujustify pa? Hindi naman comparable sa drug 'crisis' natin sa Pinas.
ReplyDeleteEto pa isa pumapapel!!!! Sipsip! Disgusting creature!
ReplyDeleteSayang ang talino nang taong ito.. unang una fame whore kahit showbiz nakikisawsaw at pangalawa walang modo naturingang may pinag aralan walang modo mag salita
ReplyDeletethe philippines has gone mad.
ReplyDeleteIs that his real twitter account?
ReplyDeletePuro trash na talaga ang nasa government ngayon.
ReplyDeleteFrom the President to his alagads.
Kawawang Pilipinas!
Wala nang Nazis pano nya i-invoke? Lahat yan for the sake of argument lang. Dami nyo kuda.
ReplyDeleteAno na ba ang nangyayari sa bansa natin?! Ang problema is dumadami ang problema natin dahil sa mga bibig nila... why can't they just focus on theEthings na makakatulong sa ating lahat? If other nations will nit support us, kaya na ba natin? Let's not be too arrogant because we are still a rising country hindi pa tayo naka abot sa peak.. with what's happening ngayon, our economy is suffering.
ReplyDelete8:05 Kahapon ka lang ba pinanganak? Matagal nang suffering ang economy natin fyi.
Delete8:39 malago po ang ekonomiya before PNoy ended his term. Kaya nga nabansagan ang Philippines na Asia's rising tiger at recognized yan ng mundo. Mas mabilis pa nga ang pag-angat natin compared to other Southeast Asian countries. Ikaw yata ang kahapon lang pinanganak.
DeleteLOCSIN, DUTERTE: pagtangol nyo si hitler, nazi - kung buhay sila papatayin din kayo ni hitler, dahil hindi kayo papasa sa standard nya na supreme being, di kayo blonde, di matangos mga ilong nyo, maitim si duterte, mukhang potato head si locsin, PAPATAYIN DIN KAYO NI HITLER.
