Duterte admitted that he read a summary of the reports but only on a cursory level. He has given the PACC more time to accurately get information on the accusations “in the interest of fairness.”
When asked who these cabinet members are, Duterte did not identify them, asking the public to just wait for the final report.
Duterte vowed he will not hesitate to fire any erring official.
