President Rodrigo Duterte will never hesitate to publicly expose the name of corrupt government officials in line with his intensified campaign against illegal drugs, criminality and corruption.
This was emphasized by Senator Christopher “Bong” Go in an interview in Manila.
“Alam ninyo, tuloy-tuloy po ‘yan, papangalanan ni Pangulo sa buwan na ito at sa susunod na buwan, tuwing may makakasuhan at masususpinde ang Ombudsman,” Go said.
“Papangalanan niya po ito sa publiko para malaman po ng mga Pilipino kung sino ‘yung may mga kaso,” he added.
Go, then, warned government officials to shape up lest they want to be included in the list. “Ngayon, kung ayaw ninyong pangalanan kayo, e ‘di wag kayong pumasok sa korapsyon dahil tuloy-tuloy po ang kampanya namin ni Pangulo laban sa korapsyon,” he said.
Go also mentioned that Duterte will talk to suspended officials of the Bureau of Immigration on Monday who are allegedly involved in systemic corruption within the agency.
“In fact, ‘yung mga nasuspendido na mga taga-Bureau of Immigration ay kanyang haharapin sa darating na Lunes at kanyang kakausapin,” he said.
“Naghihirap po ang mga Pilipino. ‘Wag naman pagsamantalahan pa. Sa kampanya laban sa korapsyon, talagang tutuluyan namin kayo ni Pangulong Duterte,” he added.
“Alam ninyo, mas marami pong mga matitinong mga Pilipino na gustong magtrabaho at maglingkod para sa ating bayan. ‘Yun po ang totoo kaya madaling maghanap ng matitinong tao na gustong maglingkod sa kapwa Pilipino,” he said.
Earlier, Go lauded President Duterte for heeding calls to create an expanded inter-agency task force mandated to resolve numerous allegations of prevalent systemic corruption in various government agencies.
The said task force will be mandated to investigate all issues of corruption in agencies, prosecute and file charges, conduct lifestyle checks, audit funds, recommend suspensions and put in jail those found guilty of corrupt practices.
