Known for his brash talk, the long-running mayor of Davao City has grabbed headlines around the world for his positive remarks about rape, death squads, and even calling the Pope a "son of a b----."
As Oliver points out, Duterte even got away with this remark when attending a mass wedding: "I don't have money to give but I could give your wives something else. This is for the wives only, men. I'm sorry you don't get anything because I'm not a queer."
Even with all of this, Duterte has an 11-point lead in the election, which closes Monday.
Fascinatingly enough, Duterte doesn't appreciate the comparisons to Trump. As he told Time in April: "It's one thing to be loudmouth but another to be a bigot."
