MANILA, Philippines — Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez (Davao del Norte), former House speaker is under fire from groups and advocates for persons with disabilities over a live-streamed tirade where he used autism as an insult against a political opponent.

 

Alvarez, at a campaign rally in Panabo City, Davao del Norte on Friday, made fun of De Carlo "Oyo" Uy — a candidate for vice governor — and called him a "special child" due to his being "autistic." The event was livestreamed on the official Facebook page of presidential aspirant Sen. Panfilo Lacson.

 

"Special child yan! Tingnan nyo ang mga tarps. Titigan nyo kung di ba special child yan. Sa smile pa lang, autistic!" he said.
