DAVAO CITY, Philippines — Facing alleged threats of ouster and destabilization plots, President Duterte said he has no regrets being the country’s Chief Executive. In fact, according to Duterte, his remaining three years in office is too short to fulfill his campaign promise to eradicate illegal drugs and corruption. Duterte said the Presidential Security Group (PSG) has been strict in the security arrangements wherever he is. The President added the communists have closed ranks with the group of Trillanes for his ouster, a plot which Duterte claimed will be in full motion next month. “If the Armed Forces think that I am not competent, that I am not qualified to be sitting here as president ... it’s up to you,” Duterte said.
