MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday night reiterated his call to the public to report corruption activities in the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuwag ka lang magbigay ng pangalan. Ang ibigay mo ang opisina at iyong tingin mo magkano at ‘yung tao. Ikaw, una ka na. Mag<\/em>-report\u00a0ka lang doon pa sa tao na<\/em>\u00a0(Don\u2019t give names. Just give the office and how much was stolen. Just report it to a person) whom you trust,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a taped public address, Duterte offered a PHP10,000 reward for any information regarding corrupt practices in the processing of permits.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng hiningi ko lang ang opisina at kung magkano. Ako na ang mag-<\/em>follow up\u00a0at saka ‘yung medyo maliliit, 10,000. Iyong\u00a0<\/em>permit\u00a0mo, ‘pag inabot ng isang buwan, dalawang linggo,\u00a0<\/em>corruption\u00a0talaga ‘yan<\/em>\u00a0(All I\u2019m asking is the office and how much. I\u2019ll be the one to follow it up and the small ones, 10,000. If your permit took a month, two weeks, that\u2019s really corruption),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said permits \u201cshould be done on the day of the application.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duterte also said he would give PHP20,000 every month to any person who could monitor corrupt activities within departments, agencies, or offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would place there maybe a camera or human intelligence\u00a0na lang \u2014 pinakamaganda<\/em>\u00a0(that\u2019s best).\u00a0Bayaran ko na lang kung nandiyan ka<\/em>\u00a0(I\u2019ll pay you if you\u2019re there). I’ll give you PHP20,000 a month just to tell me who the guys are,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Last Nov. 10, Duterte offered a reward of PHP50,000 or PHP100,000 to anyone who could give him information on government officials engaged in corruption.<\/p>\n

Before his appeal, he bared a list of personnel from the Bureau of Internal Revenue who have been dismissed for alleged corruption.<\/p>\n

Duterte read aloud the names of BIR personnel as part of his promise to intensify his fight against corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s an ongoing purge\u00a0sa gobyerno ngayon<\/em>\u00a0(in the government now). Sabi ko nga (I said) maybe during the last year of my term, I\u2019ll do nothing except to go after people who are into graft and corruption.\u00a0Marami na po tayong napaalis,<\/em>\u00a0about almost 300\u00a0na<\/em>\u00a0(I have fired so many, almost 300),” he said.<\/p>\n

He said it was up to the Office of the Ombudsman to determine if criminal complaints would be filed against the concerned BIR personnel.<\/p>\n

In earlier speeches, Duterte also named personnel from the Bureau of Customs and Bureau of Immigration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
