President Rodrigo Duterte -- to fire a whole commission over corruption
"Wala akong pakialam kung nakisali dalawa, tatlo, you have to go out. Because I do not think it will exist without your knowledge at bakit hanggang... Wala akong patawad-tawad," kahit bulong bulungan lang, o tumanggap ka you’re fired. Maging totoo. Pag natsismis ka,” he said in a speech during his visit in Malolos, Bulacan.he added.
Duterte also told his audience about an official who traveled out of the country six times since September.
"Corruption is really pulling us
down," President Duterte said.
"On
Monday, I will fire about one commission mismo. Lahat sila," Duterte said
in at the 84th anniversary celebration of the Department of Labor and
Employment in Malolos, Bulacan. Duterte has repeatedly said that "a whiff
of corruption" would be enough for him to fire an official.
Both
Sueno and Lavina were prime movers in Duterte's presidential campaign in 2016.
Also
in April, Duterte fired Undersecretary Maia Chiara Halmen Reina Valdez for
trying to reverse National Food Authority Jason Aquino's denial of a rice
importation permit.
Other
officials dismissed by Duterte are former Dangerous Drugs Board chairman
Dionisio Santiago and Sugar Regulatory Administration chief Anna Rosario Paner.
He
reminded government workers that he didn't allow extravagance funded by
taxpayers' money.
The
highest ranking official Duterte fired over allegations of corruption was then
Interior Secretary Ismael Sueno in April.
Then
National Irrigation Administration chief Peter Lavina was fired in March also
for alleged corruption.
President
Rodrigo Duterte on Friday vowed to fire an entire government commission over
allegations of corruption. He gave this hint as the government heightened its war
against corruption and corrupt officials in public office.
