NOW: President Rodrigo Roa #Duterte talks to the nation. He is set to announce new quarantine classifications for next month.

PRRD: Alam mo, this country continues to be playing with corruption

PRRD: I have made a pledge to the people of the Philippines na 'yung oath of office ko part of it really is to protect government interest

PRRD: Alam mo, hanggang ngayon, corruption pa rin ang problema. I have a pledge, if I remember, two or three sessions ago that I will concentrate the last remaining years of my term fighting corruption.

PRRD: Hanggang ngayong hindi humihina, lumalakas pa lalo. Para na tuloy naging inutil ang mga opisyal ng bayan na wala talagang magawa with the onslaught of corruption

PRRD: Hindi ako naniniwala na wala akong magawa. May magagawa ako.

PRRD: In our dedication, we would come (with) a very strong stand against corruption. Eradication may be a part pero talagang hihirit ako

PRRD: Let me remind everybody in this government na ang resignation will not save your neck. You are not allowed to resign if there is a pending case against you.

PRRD: Mag-resign ka man at hindi ka mag-report, but then you would be summoned or subpoenaed, not because you are already out of government, but because for all intents and purposes, you are still a part of government.

PRRD: You are not allowed to resign to escape liability. Kasi nakita ko sa PhilHealth na resignation dito, resignation doon.

PRRD: 'Yung task force na nabuo ko this time we will look into every department but upon my request to focus sa corruption sa DPWH

PRRD: I have nothing against Sec. Villar. He is one of the hardworking at maraming accomplishments but you know, accomplishments alone should not suffice

PRRD: We're expanding the investigation sa corruption sa Agriculture, special focus sa DPWH

PRRD warns corrupt officials: The same, I will order your suspension. I need not go to court.

PRRD: Itong presidency hindi naman inutil kasi kung inutil ako aalis na ako rito, ibigay ko na sa iba.

PRRD: Ang focus ko will be against corruption.

PRRD: Kung i-suspend kita, may duda ako. Hindi ako mag-suspend ng taong walang kasalanan

PRRD: I do not think that you'll receive the message equivocal, it has only one impact.

PRRD: I'd like to hurry up Congress on this. One of my proposals during the campaign period is the creation of the [Department of] Overseas Filipinos.

PRRD: I will also create another agency and that is the maritime, the seafarers.

PRRD: No Filipinos should be left stranded like a person with no nationality.

PRRD: I might consider an additional agency under this proposal, overseas kasi. Iyan ang ano ko sa mga kababayan ko na naghihirap sa labas that there will be a more thorough review sa policies for your protection and that somebody should look after you.

PRRD: Itong sa All Saints', All Souls' Day, naka-fix na 'yan. No liquor, no deadly instruments.

PRRD: Mayroon akong nabasa sa newspaper there was this meeting. It was a pharmaceutical of China na hindi natuloy ang meeting nila because the Chinese counterpart probably did not have a good understanding with his partner and so they decided to back out

PRRD: Let me tell everybody that hindi kami maghingi, we will pay. So maganda sana government to government ang transaction.

PRRD: You need not look for partners. We can make it government to government and I will pay you.

PRRD: Ayoko 'yung private persons, magbili tayo sa private Chinese businessmen. Diyan magkakaloko-lokohan eh.

PRRD: We had a meeting with Amb. Huang, he said the vaccine is there. It would be in a matter of paano i-distribute and of course, what kind of transaction would it be for them and for us.

PRRD: As I have said before, the money for assistance and help na maibigay sa tao should be formulated and implemented by the task force.

PRRD: Itong pagbigay ng pera, ang ayaw ko sa lahat iyong delay.

PRRD: Kayong lahat na taga-gobyerno, to those implementing the assistance whether DOH or DILG, huwag ninyong pagawain pa ng proposal kasi ang proposal they will review it and decide.

PRRD: Simplify the giving of the money by asking for a proposal then that proposal should not be studied by days or by months. You just review it and check that it's for food. You give it because it is for food

PRRD: Do away with delay. Local governments, mga permits na ganoon. If I did it in Davao City for 3 days, make it 2 days this time. Kapag hindi at nag-report ang isang tao sa akin, ang report niya diretso na sa Ombudsman for immediate action

PRRD: Kapag may mga complaint at oras na dumating sa akin iyan, diretso na iyan sa Ombudsman. Bahala na kayo sa buhay niyo because the Ombudsman can order you dismissed, order you to face charges.

PRRD: You might not like the way I present my thoughts to you pero ganoon na nga. Medyo nagsawa na ako kasi ang mga tao nagsawa na rin

PRRD: Sige kayo maghanap sa akin. Find me a person or a paper that says I received P1 and I will resign.

PRRD: Wala kayong makuha sa akin. Wala akong papel na pinirmihan na transaction sa gobyerno. Lahat ng kontrata begins with Galvez and ends with Galvez and 'yung mga Health transactions, it begins and ends with Sec. Duque

PRRD: Do not invent a sin against me because I have painstakingly avoided being a corrupt.

PRRD: If you want to go politics and want to remain there for a time, stay clean. Iyan ang sinasabi ko kay Inday pati kay Pulong. Huwag kayong pumasok na sumobra, especially si Pulong na sa accounts siya ngayon.

PRRD: Be sure to account every money to the last centavo para ang tao, walang masabi.

PRRD: You know what's really wrong is because some of you are indolent and lazy.

PRRD: I hope that all government workers, officials are listening. This is my memorandum to Sec. Menardo Guevarra, DOJ. Subject is investigate allegations of corruption in the entire government, lahat.

PRRD: The DOJ is hereby directed to investigate allegations of corruption in the entire government, lahat na.

PRRD: In pursuit of this directive, the DOJ shall have the authority to decide which allegation to investigate, taking into consideration the gravity thereof and their impact on delivery of gov't service.

PRRD: It may create as many panels it deems necessary adequate, and may invite or direct other bodies and agencies of the government to assist or be part of such panel.

PRRD says the directive will remain in effect until June 30, 2022.

PRRD: Ang proposed quarantine classification from Nov. 1 to 30 subject to appeals by the LGU, GCQ in NCR, Batangas, Iloilo City, Bacolod City, Tacloban City, Iligan City, Lanao del Sur.

PRRD: We are not here to make your life miserable or sad. We are here to make your life comfortable or happy.
