Duterte to issue “dismissal letters” to corrupt officials before leaving for China

(Eagle News)–President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday, April 24, said he would issue “dismissal letters” to some government officials who were corrupt.

Duterte said he would issue these before he left for China to attend the second Belt and Road forum in Beijing from April 25 to 27.

He did not say, however, who would be fired.

“Corruption is really — (it) seeps down to the core. You have to have something more than just a warning,” he said.
