Without mentioning Poe, Duterte criticized the lawmaker for perceiving politicians as corrupt.

“But here comes a lady. Atribida ang tawag ko diyan eh. I mean it’s good to be honest. It’s good to be a crusading public official. No doubt about it, you will be appreciated.


“But kung sumobra ka and you think that all elected officials in government are corrupt, oh well then. Sabi ko, kung ganun ang pag-isip ninyo, huwag na. Let EDSA rot there. And at the end of the day, when I go out, then I’ll have the freedom to be more frank and more brutal in my language,” he said.
