President Rodrigo Duterte said he will step down from his position if someone formally accuses him of accepting bribes, with proof that allegations are true.
“Maraming haka-haka diyan na kami, mga Cabinet members, ako tumatanggap ng pera. Look, I give you this guarantee. Magdala ka lang ng tao at sabihin mo nagbigay siya ng piso sa’min, mag-resign ako bukas,” Duterte said in a public briefing.
[There are multiple rumors that we, me and my Cabinet members, accept payoffs. Look, I give you this guarantee. If you bring someone and say that he gave us a single peso, I will resign tomorrow.]
Further, the president issued a warning that he will “kill” anyone who will falsely accuse him or his Cabinet members.
