Duterte says he’s not corrupt like Dick, Frank: ‘Kayo diyan ang merong butas’

By Prince Golez

Unlike Senators Dick Gordon and Franklin Drilon, President Rodrigo Duterte claimed he’s not involved in corruption.

Duterte made the comment in his taped public address aired Wednesday morning after he took potshots at Gordon and Drilon for investigating the government’s purchase of Covid-19 medical supplies.

He would not be elected as president if he were corrupt, according to the Chief Executive.

“Alam mo sa totoo lang Gordon pati Drilon, hindi ako aabot sa presidency from my mayorship to the presidency kung corrupt ako kagaya ninyo, kung tumatanggap ako ng mga campaign funds diyan sa mga tao na alam ninyo na gumagawa ng kalokohan kasama yung mga miyembro ng Congress,” he said.

“Kayo diyan ang mayroong butas, wala kayong makukuha sa amin. It’s not in my system about corruption and money. Ibang bagay siguro masabi mo mayroon akong… pero hindi sa pera,” added Duterte.

While he does not care about Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corporation, the firm accused of selling overpriced and damaged personal protective equipment, the President remained firm in his order not to allow his Cabinet men to attend Senate probes.

“Wala akong pakilam diyan sa Pharmally na ‘yan. Gusut-gusutin man nila yan ng isang taong hearing okay lang, huwag lang yung mga empleyado sa Executive Department, kagaya ng Cabinet members na pinapapapunta dun, paupuin at hindi naman tatawagin, tapos pag tatawagin, bastusin,” he said.
