[아시아뉴스통신=조날드 타파난 기자] President Rodrigo R. Duterte chided corrupt local government, warning them that he would account for their behavior once the COVID-19 situation in the country improves. He urged barangay captains, in particular, to refrain from acting like gods in their barangays saying they do not deserve to be part of government if they acted in such a manner.
He had no respect or compassion for them, noting that he would think twice about sending them to jail or suspending them because he wanted them removed from the horizon. Instead of engaging in corrupt activities, he urged them to work by strictly enforcing localized lockdowns to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in their respective areas. “It’s time that you really work. Isauli mo sa tao ‘yung honor na ibinibigay nila sa inyo, ibinigay ninyo at ibinigay sa inyo ng tao. You work. Strictly enforce ang quarantine, lalo na ‘yung lockdown” he stated.
