Dismissing accusations that he had unexplained wealth, President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday told members of the Philippine Army to “oust” him if he lied about his wealth. ADVERTISEMENTThe President made the statement at the installation of the Army’s new commanding general, Maj. Gen. Rolando Bautista, after his predecessor, Lt. Gen. Glorioso Miranda, retired. Among those present were Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, Armed Forces Chief of Staff Gen. Eduardo Año, and other members of the military’s top brass. The President noted that a recent survey showed that the net trust rating of the Philippine Army was at 75 percent. “The survey would show that the Philippine Army’s (had an) impressive +75 net trust rating in our nation for the first semester of 2017,” Mr. Duterte said.
