Duterte said the will keep his promise that he will let the Filipino people experience a clean government and free from corruption, including questionable transactions.
The president assured that he shall issue an order to the Bureau of Immigration (BI) and Bureau of Customs (BoC) to make necessary adjustments and measures to ensure the eradication of corruption.
He further added that tax exemptions, especially to business moguls and billionaires, will not work in his government, unlike what happened during the six-year term of Former President Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III.
Duterte is referring to the P7 billion tax obligation of an energy company which was allegedly waived by the Aquino administration.
But the present president will not take the issue sitting down and said that he will chase after the energy company to get the money back to the Filipino people.
