"Can I ask you now just to treat my countrymen as human beings with dignity," Duterte, who is bound for New Delhi for the ASEAN-India Special Commemorative Summit, said during his pre-departure speech at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Duterte's statement was met with applause from those present in the event. “I do not want to fight with you. We are poor, we may need your help, but we will not do it at the expense of the dignity of the Filipino.” Before Duterte made the remark, he acknowledged the presence of Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano, who will join him in India. “I hope I am not committing a diplomatic faux pas,” hesaid.

Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III ordered the suspension a day after Duterte said he is mulling banning the deployment of OFWs to Kuwait amid reports of maltreatment. On Wednesday, Duterte said he will "never again" tolerate another incident of a Filipino worker getting raped abroad. "I hope that you'd listen to me because I mean well, but I will never, never, never again tolerate another incident of rape to the point of committing of suicide, jumping out the window. That is something the Filipino people cannot stomach," he said. "If I can't do something about it, then there's no reason for me to stay in this position any minute longer," Duterte added.
