Duterte to fire whole commission next week
President Rodrigo Duterte said on Friday he would fire a commission by next week due to alleged corruption.
In a speech during the 84th anniversary of the Department of Labor and Employment in Bulacan, Duterte said corruption is pulling down the country.
"That's why even a whiff, there's a gossip that you received or you asked, I will call you. 'Don’t stay. You’re fired'," he said.
"Now, on Monday, I will fire about one commission. All of them. I don't care if they all participated or two or three, you have to go out. Because I do not think that it will exist without your knowledge and why until now," Duterte added.
