"One way or the other we will soon need them and this pardon strengthens that bond of friendship between us as people. Ang panahon ng pandemya ay oras ng pakikipagbuklod kay big brother. Isulat na lamang natin ito sa talaan ng mga atraso ng Amerikano sa atin mula sa massacre sa probinsya ng Samar hanggang sa massacre of Bud Bagsak sa Jolo na walang mga nakulong na Amerikanong sundalo," said Robin.

His decision, which came amid public outcry over an Olongapo City court order for Pemberton's release before his prison term of six to 10 years for homicide, was met with heavy criticism, with members of the LGBTQ community and the camp of Laude saying Duterte had bargained the Filipinos' sovereignty to the US.
