President Duterte has claimed that he had 'fired' these officials but Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra says they 'have returned to the main office,' mostly without assignments pending their cases. SONA2021

, which Senator Risa Hontiveros had exposed, involves allegedly extorting foreigners, mostly Chinese, to enter and work in the Philippines without proper permits.

BI Spokesperson Dana Sandoval said that of the 86 who were under preventive suspension, 84 have returned. The two others were the whistleblower and a retiree, said Sandoval. During the portion of his SONA where Duterte riled against corruption, the President said of those involved in the pastillas scam:"There were 43 personnel involved. I fired them all.Guevarra said this was not the case."No, they were not fired or dismissed, precisely because the investigation of their cases is still going on," he said.

Duterte boasted that he wanted to make the officials eat the pastillas-wrapped money. He said in his SONA that Guevarra stopped him from doing so. Instead, Duterte said:"That is the best way of… Then, you fire them."While the Office of the Ombudsman is usually the one with the power to dismiss government officials from the service, by immigration law, the DOJ can fire them too.

Duterte unaware 'pastillas' officers he 'fired' are still with Immigration bureau: spokesmanPresident Rodrigo Duterte did not know that the Immigration personnel he said he fired for alleged corruption were in truth still in government service, his spokesman said on Thursday. It is obvious incompetence exists in the administration or perhaps a whitewash. The “I do not know” answer is a childish answer Mr. President and you know that. You are insulting the intelligence of the people. 😳 seriously? Nakakahiya yung nag STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS yung Presidente na hindi naman accurate ung mga sinasabi. 🤡

How Duterte managed to make his last SONA the least interesting event of the dayIt appears the only interesting thing about President Duterte’s last SONA is how it is upstaged by a Filipino woman who, unlike him, does not bow down to China. 🥴SONA2021 Tokyo2020 Olympics Hahaha! ULOL! Despite her drug matrix inclusion and the non-apologetic response and lack of financial support of the administration, HD’s parents still displays the DU30 fist. Is this misplaced gratitude or just plain fear of retribution?
