Over the last three years a number of people have wondered why President Rodrigo Duterte fires people but often ends up recycling them. In the most recent case, the president of PhilHealth and all the members of the board were told to tender their courtesy resignation even though President Duterte reiterated his trust and confidence for the recently resigned PhilHealth president Roy Ferrer. The Duterte Administration has built up its high trust rating on its anti drug war and the image of being against corruption. In fact it is the anti corruption image that has kept the President’s trust ratings coasting along. That is not the priority of the Duterte administration.
