Lahat ng Filipino na nakatikim ng (All the Filipinos who have experienced), whether it’s in the permit sa office of the mayor, or an electrical clearance or way of right already paid but unimplemented, itext mo na lang (just text me your experience). Your name, the government official, do not add your name,” said by Duterte quoted by Inquirer.
