Manila Philippines- Even though both the LTO and the LTFRB are labelled as the two of the most corrupt agencies in the Philippines, President Duterte insist that his two appointees are not involved in corruption.
LTO Chief Edgar Galvante and LTFRB Chairman recently appointed by Pres. Duterte believing that they have what it takes to lead in their respective offices despite the fact that there are some public servants continue their corrupt practices in the midst of the warnings by Duterte.
“It remains really a problem in the regulatory bodies and agencies. You know, I’ve been trying to warn everybody. And I was hoping that I would not have to name them for the reason that I asked those who are involved in so many wrongs to resign before I take my oath of office,” he told businessmen in Malacañang last Tuesday.
Although there is still corruption happening especially in the provinces, it is not mainly the fault of Galvante or Atty. Delgra. They have nothing to do with it, said the President.
Corruption starts even upon the filing of papers and still happening frequently in the province. He added.
To be able to weed out the ongoing corruption, the President declared all government posts vacant. However, the declaration only covers the appointees of the previous administration and both Glavante and Delgra are not included in the vacancy. They have proven themselves to have competence and integrity and somehow have nothing to do of the wrongdoings of their people on the regional level.
Other officials who were not asked to quit were newly appointed Cabinet secretaries, undersecretaries and assistant secretaries including presidential advisers or assistants, other officials in the executive department including state universities and colleges and government-owned and controlled corporations appointed by Duterte, career officials, members of the judiciary, officials working for offices created by the Constitution and those whose appointments are being processed.
“If I ask for or demand your resignation, it only means one thing: the Filipinos, through me, the appointing power, have lost confidence in your handling the affairs of government,” Duterte said.
Duterte said he would conduct “purging” in the government because he is “pissed off” by corruption.
