President Duterte assures business
sector ‘100% satisfaction’
MANILA -- President Rodrigo
Roa Duterte on Thursday, October
18, vowed to the businesspeople
that he would give them “100
percent satisfaction” as long
as they would not give in to
corruption.

During his remarks at
the 44th Philippine Business
Conference and Expo (PBC&E)
Concluding Ceremony at the
Manila Hotel, the Chief Executive
said that he would make sure to
give businessmen an audience for
their complaints. “I’m advising
foreign investors, you have to
tell me the truth. If you have
something to complain especially
about corruption, please talk
to me and I will give you 100
percent satisfaction.”

“Yan ang pangako ko sa
inyo. And you will be protected.
Kung magsumbong ka sa akin,
then I will just tell him in front of
you ‘better be sure that nothing
happens to this guy.’ Maski
napako lang ito doon sa hagdanan
nila, magdasal ka kasi ikaw
pupuntahan ko,” he continued.

The President then
emphasized his administration’s
commitment to impose law
and order and combat graft and
corruption in the country.

He, however, cited
that this thrust is not solely the
government’s responsibility, but
the entire Filipino people.

“So I promised you
that corruption would be dealt
with severely and I am doing it.
That’s a campaign promise which
I’m doing now. What is utterly
lacking is the assertiveness of
the Filipino people of their
constitutional, civil, and political

“Ang Pilipino… ‘yan eh
because you surrender, you give
in to people in government who
are into graft and corruption. Ang
makatulong niyan, magsama tayo.
Isumbong mo lang at sinabi ko
nga, anybody who is complaining
about graft and corruption, I will
give you an audience any time,”
he added.

In the same event,
President Duterte spearheaded
this year’s business conference
awarding ceremony.

He also accepted the
baton which was transferred
to him by former Philippine
Presidents Fidel V. Ramos and
Joseph Estrada. Passing the baton
signifies national leadership and
good governance.

Meanwhile, the 44th
PBC&E Chairman Ramon Ang
also submitted to President
Duterte the business sectors’ list
of resolutions that would alleviate
the predicaments the investors are
experiencing in the country such
as flooding, traffic, and airport
congestion.

The President, on his
part, promised to discuss these
concerns in the next cabinet
meeting. “I will do everything to
really address the things that you
have mentioned. I will place it in
the agenda, first agenda during
the next meeting,” he said.

“And with that, I’d like
to thank the PCCI (Philippine
Chamber of Commerce and
Industry) and everybody who’s
interested and for your patience
for me to end the prob.” President
Duterte said. (PND)

officers

urged AFP personnel not to seek
personal interests but instead focus
on the betterment of the organization
as they fulfil their mandate in serving
the state.

“The Code of Ethics veers
us away from temptation by leading
us to an honorable path of service.
It sets the ethical standards for us
officers and enlisted personnel and
civilian employees to do our job,”
Galvez said.

The Chief of Staff
emphasized that there is no place for
corruption in the Armed Forces of the
Philippines.

“Corruption is one of the

lessons,” Dino said.

“There is nothing wrong
with embracing creativity and
innovation as long as all of you
are safe and that nobody gets
hurt in the process… If you are
able to contribute to a better way
of life for yourself, your family,
and your community, that already
is your contribution to nation-
building,” Dino added.
Moreover,
the
Undersecretary expressed her
delight in seeing the products of
the tech-voc learners. She further
encouraged the school heads
and teachers to conduct trade
expos – for instance, during the
distribution of report cards – so
irresponsible,
and
incompetent
people certainly have no place in the
Armed Forces, and we will make sure
that they will pay for what they have
done in our organization. We do not
tolerate misconduct,” Galvez said.

Galvez also ensured the
people that the culprits behind the V.
Luna issue will face the consequences
of their actions.

“In all other cases, we
assure that all erring personnel will
be thoroughly investigated and be
subjected to the AFP Court Martial.
We will do this to preserve the
integrity of our service,” Galvez said

“On our end, each of us
should do our parts in the best way
that we can. No task is ever small
if we can find the fulfillment in
our actions. That at the end of the
day, we know in ourselves that we
have done something good and
accomplished something helpful to
the organization.” Galvez added.

He added that as AFP
continues its service, military officers
should always be guided not only by
the code of ethics but also the morals
and the inner conscience of doing
what is good and what is right.

At the end of his remarks,
the AFP Chief reiterated his reminder
that the Armed Forces should not be
disturbed by the political noise, and
that the organization remains solid
and undivided. (PIA-NCR)
