He insisted that he was not discriminating against the LGBTQ community, noting that he has family members who are gay, but "the great divide between a woman and a man...would get erased" if you allow same-sex unions, reported SunStar Philippines.
Twitter users were swift to criticise Duterte's remarks.

Duterte is singing quite a different tune from just a year ago when he was on the campaign trail. Before he was president, he seemed to suggest he was open to legalising same-sex marriage.
"Definitely, the gays were created by God and there has to be a reason for that," he was quoted in January 2016 as saying.
Duterte's latest remarks also present a setback for local legislators pushing for marriage equality.
Geraldine Roman, the country's first trans woman elected to public office, said in support of same-sex unions: "The sky will not fall if a civil union bill is passed."
Same-sex marriage also has a supporter in Pantaleon Alvarez, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Last year in October, he said he intended to sponsor the filing of a marriage equality bill.
Alvarez's position in government is third in line to the presidency, behind the vice president.
