    MANILA, Philippines – With the exception of his Cabinet secretaries, President Rodrigo Duterte told appointees in all government agencies to vacate their posts due to the continued existence of corruption in their offices.

    In a press conference early Sunday morning, August 21, Duterte announced, "On Monday, I would declare all positions in the government....If you are there because of a presidential appointment, I will declare all your positions all throughout the country vacant."

    He later explained that the assistants and deputies can take over the posts until a replacement is appointed. Career officials would not be covered by the order.

    Duterte expressed his anger over reports of continued corruption in government offices. "Until now, in my provincial visits, I still hear corruption being committed by people, especially in the regulatory agencies," he said.

    He then pointed out the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) as among the agencies where corruption is still prevalent.

    Apparently referring to the LTFRB chief, Duterte instructed him, "Come to me and see me in Malacañang."

    As for LTO executives and those appointed there, except for career officials, "Consider your positions vacant as of this hour." Duterte to appointees: Consider your posts vacant

    When the drug money runs out, you have to find another source of income.

    Where does the Philippine government get its money? I see money going to the government in the form of VAT but I see little being paid as income tax. Google says the main source of revenue is the service industry, like call centers, but I can't see call centers paying for all the money Duterte is spending.

    "Gave up" his position? Kinda implies that he had a choice. :wink:
