President Duterte has nothing but pride for his Cabinet despite the allegations
that one of them is facing at the moment.

Duterte made the statement amid allegations of favoring and insertions in the
proposed 2019 budget hurled against Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno.

According to Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Martin

Andanar, Duterte expressed his sentiment in a Christmas party Friday.

“Nagsalita siya ng kaunti about doon kay Secretary Ben Diokno, iyong nangyari doon
sa Kongreso (He spoke for a bit about Secretary Ben Diokno, what happened in the
House of Representatives),” Andanar said in a radio interview.

Andanar then said that the President expressed that he is satisfied with his
Cabinet but reminded them to not get involved with corrupt practices.

“Ipinaliwanag din niya at ipinaaalala sa amin na, sabi niya na he is proud of this
present cabinet na—actually, dominated by non-politician ang kanyang present
Cabinet (He explained and reminded us that he is proud of his present Cabinet which
is dominated by non-politicians),” he said.

“Ipinaaalala niya sa amin na iyong non-corrupt, iyong no corruption, iyong mga

ganoon, tapos masaya siya overall. Masaya siya sa naging trabaho ng mga miyembro ng
kaniyang gabinete (He reminded us about corruption, and he was overall satisfied
with the work of his Cabinet men),” he added.

Duterte is being urged by members of the House of Representatives to reconsider the

appointment of Diokno for various allegations linked to him in the proposed 2019
budget worth P3.575 trillion.

However, Malacañang slammed the House of Representatives, saying its Resolution and
the conduct of some of its members during the Question Hour as unparliamentary and
not honorable.

“This unparliamentary behavior has no place in the hallowed grounds of Congress,

where members are referred to as “Honorable” as they represent their districts or
sectors. There is no honor in browbeating a fellow worker and officer in
government,” Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo had said.

The Palace also asked the Congress to refrain from interfering with the affairs of
the Executive Branch, the same way President Duterte respects the decisions of the
legislative.
