Incoming president Rodrigo Duterte’s search for competent Cabinet associates have been hampered by money thing.
This was revealed by the tough-talking mayor in yet another midnight press conference, this time at the Mandaya Hotel in Davao City Thursday (May 26).
“I am still to come up with the people for the job (sa gabinete), kaso ang problema usapan agad ay sweldo,” Duterte said. He didn’t say what his reply was to this topic.
Watch: Incoming Rodrigo Duterte speaks about recruiting cabinet members
So far, longtime friends and supporters during the campaign period have filled up most of Duterte’s Cabinet positions.
If anything, Duterte said that he is now vetting an “impressive list of people with talent” from which he would pick his other departmental officials.
He said that the list–composed mostly of University of the Philippines (UP) graduates–was provided to him “by the Left”.
In the same presser, Duterte underscored that government officials must prove that they are worthy of their salaries, especially since these are sourced from public funds.
“Show to me and show to the Filipino people that you deserve the salary the people are paying,” he said.
For me this is a very sad truth, that some of the officials were concerned by their salary than the work they will give to improve the integrity of our country. Where is the said "public services"?
