President-elect Rodrigo Duterte has plans to provide 12 hotline numbers where people can directly report to him the corrupt practices of government employees and officials.
Government employees can squeal to him their bosses’ involvement in corruption.
During his 42-minute speech at the thanksgiving celebration on the Sugbo Grounds at the South Road Properties here, Duterte said 12 phone numbers can be used to access him 24 hours and will be manned by persons who will take note of their calls and complaints.
He also warned said people in the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and the Bureau of Customs (BOC) to stop their corrupt practices.
“You better stop it or I will humiliate you,” he told a crowd of close to 10,000.
Duterte stressed he was not “salbahis (mean)”.
But he added he would be forced to be mean if people would not listen to him.
Duterte said this would also be reflected on his drive against criminality and drugs.
He reminded the bishops that not everything could be solved by praying.
Duterte arrived at the SRP Sugbo Grounds at past 10 p.m. after attending a wedding at Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa in Lapu-Lapu City.
He didn’t immediately go up the stage.
It was already past 11 p.m. when he went up, wearing a dark blue polo shirt and thanked Cebuanos at the thanksgiving celebration for giving him a “makabungog (resounding)” win.
He left the stage at 11:45 p.m. and boarded his vehicle parked at the back of the stage.
Their convoy left at almost midnight.
Sources said he went back to Davao City at 12: 44 a.m., using the same private plane that brought him here.
