MANILA, Philippines β€” President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday said he would fire two officials of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) over an β€œapplication” that has been delayed for years.

β€œMay tanggalin ako dalawa sa DAR, an application that was long delayed, two years sa opisina nila. That is corruption to me, para magbalik-balik β€˜yung aplikante. Two years?” Duterte told reporters in an ambush interview after the groundbreaking of a hospital in Malabon City.

β€œI will ask them to resign or else I will file charges against them, and I will see to it that they will get their comeuppance,” he added.

The President did not name the officials.

β€œWala pa pero from the looks of it, the name is immaterial. When you have papers with you, basta pabalik-balikin mo β€˜yung tao, kaya sabi ko sa Pilipino, there’s an 8888, i-text lang ninyo, pinapabalik-balik ako dito sa, yung assessment or business permit, and I will ask,” he added. /je
