Manila, Philippines - As President Rodrigo Duterte is ending his term as the
chief executive of our land, he is quite saddened that he does not see any
worthy or deserving individual who will continue what he had started.
The commander in chief wishes his predecessor would carry on especially his campaign against drugs and the fight
against crime and corruption as he retires from his office in 2022.
“You know, I’m about
to close my presidency in a matter of months. I really do not know who’s going
to be the next president,” said Duterte in a speech.
“And looking at the
political horizon there, kung sinong ma-presidente, I’m so pessimistic but I’m
sad that no one there would…Puro kasi ano. I don’t know about one or two, mga hipokrito na… They were doing it
before their time there in the Senate. Pero sumasali sa mga atake na ganun,”
the President added.
President Duterte said he will be worried for the “next generation” of Filipinos
especially if the next president would discontinue what he had started during
his term.
“Ang gusto ko lang
masiguro kasi na malaman ninyo ‘pag hindi natin nahinto ang graft and
corruption and if there is no law and order sa ating bayan, even if you give
the Philippines another 20 years with the same set-up, with the same — the
Constitution itself is tailored for corruption,” Duterte said.
Rodrigo Roa Duterte is the current and 16th President of the
Philippines. Frequently described as the populist and nationalist.
He was among the longest-serving mayors in the Philippines, serving seven terms for a span of more than 22 years in office.
