“I am satisfied with General Guerrero, and he stay there and there are still some complaints so I’ll talk to him. Lalo na 'yong mga tao na sinabi ko na paalisin na niya, some of them are lingering there. Sabihin ko kay Jagger, alisin mo 'yan kasi 'yan ang mga tao who have been there for 20 years, puro corruption ang ginawa,” Duterte said.—Report from Pia Gutierrez, ABS-CBN News
