The public can now directly inform President-elect Rodrigo Duterte of the graft and corrupt practices in government with his move to put up a 24- hour hotline.
“You can call whoever you are. I will place around seven or 10 person to man the hotline 24 hours a day,” Duterte told his Cebuano supporters at a thanksgiving party.
Duterte said that up to 12 phone numbers can be used anywhere in the country to access him 24 hours a day and will be manned by persons who will take note of their calls and complaints.
Unlike before, Duterte said that even subordinates can now tell on the illegal acts of their superiors through the phone lines.
The president-elect also stressed that he won’t think twice in humiliating corrupt government officials in public.
In previous speeches, Duterte reiterated that among the government agencies that he is targeting to rid of corruption are the Bureau of Internal Revenue, Bureau of Customs, Department of Transportation and the Department of Public Works and Highways.
