Tawad ng Tunggalian

To counter human rights accusations against him, Duterte brought up the US' massacre/overkill of Mindanao Moros in the early 1900s at Bud Dajo. Bad "dayo?"

Darwin Absari of UP's Institute for Islamic Studies chimed in and claimed that US has not asked forgiveness (pagpapatawad) for this. "Tawad" also refers to discount or minimize in Pilipino. Discount, in English could likewise mean disregard. Wonder in what context US will be asking for "tawad?"
