President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered the Department of Justice (DoJ) to probe allegations of corruption in all government agencies, beginning with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The President said the next focus of the DoJ would be corruption in the DPWH. “This time we will look into every department but upon my request, [we will] focus sa corruption sa DPWH (focus on corruption in DPWH),” he said. AwesomeThe President’s directive prompted Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra to urge tipsters and whistleblowers to come out and fight corruption in the government. “Ang focus ko ngayon, the Office of the President itself, will be against corruption (The Office of the President’s focus now is to end corruption),” he said.
