注意：Obama在座。
Photos of massacre
Duterte also confirmed previous reports that he presented photos of the massacre of Filipinos in Mindanao at a plenary of the East Asian Summit on Thursday, September 8 – photos from when the Philippines was a US colony. (READ: Obama, Duterte clash over brutal crime war)
Among those at the meeting were Obama and Ban.
He said he was handed a speech but he dropped it to show photos, since he said the issue on human rights was raised anyway.
These were pictures of corpses during the US pacification campaign in Mindanao that killed Muslim Filipinos in the early 1900s, he said.
He said he told the body: "This is human rights. What do you intend to do? Do not tell me that is water under the bridge. Human rights violation, whether committed by Moses or Abraham, is still a violation of human rights."
Duterte said there was just silence. He said he was "waiting for Obama to respond" but he did not.
He went on to blame the Americans for continued suffering in Mindanao.
"Why has there been no healing in Mindanao? Because they were slaughtered by the imperialists!" he said.
Duterte said none of the Philippine officials who were with him at the EAS plenary knew he would cast aside his speech. "They were squirming at first," the Philippine leader said.
================================================================================
Duterte made the comment as he veered away from his prepared speech before leaders of the 18-nation East Asia group, including Obama, on Friday, September 9, the last day of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit and related Summits.
Duterte launched into a tirade about US military killings in the Philippines when it was an American colony from 1898 to 1946, according to 3 diplomats the Agence France-Presse spoke with who were in the room.
"The Philippine president showed a picture of the killings of American soldiers in the past and the president said: 'This is my ancestor they killed. Why now we are talking about human rights," an Indonesian delegate said.
It was the same historical background that the Philippine leader had provided when he attacked Obama and the US at a news conference in Manila on Monday, before he left for Laos. (READ: Duterte: Who is Obama to ask me about human rights?)
The delegate described the atmosphere in the room as "quiet and shocked."
Another diplomat described the speech as "normal Duterte."
Philippine Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay Jr confirmed that Duterte showed the photos depicting human rights atrocities in Mindanao during his speech at the East Asia Summit.
