Duterte open to public discussion on proposed change in gov’t, including revolutionary form
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte talks to the people after holding a meeting with the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Emerging Infectious Diseases core members at the Malago Clubhouse in Malacañang on August 31, 2020.
“Sabi ko nga ‘yung revolutionary government should not be discussed in sub rosa. It should be discussed publicly, including the military,” Duterte said during his televised address Monday night. Duterte briefly mentioned the proposed revolutionary government while deploring the “unabated” corruption in the bureaucracy. He earlier appointed former National Bureau of Investigation director Dante Gierran as new president of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation and directed him to clean up the agency.“Tulungan ninyo ako kasi kawawa ang — kawawa ang bayan. Naawa ako talaga sa bayan ko . Believe me, my heart bleeds for my country,” he said.
He directed the PhilHealth chief to send the corrupt officials in PhilHealth to prison. He cautioned that the state firm might end up losing reserve funds for the beneficiaries due to corruption.
