PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte said Tuesday, July 18, that he is mulling to issue a decree prohibiting the display of his photos in all government offices.
Duterte made the remark during the ceremonial turnover of 3,000 units of caliber .45 to the Armed Forces of the Philippines at the Palace’s Heroes Hall on Tuesday.
He said when he was mayor of Davao City, he ordered government offices not to display his photos.
He added that photos of the country's heroes should instead be displayed.
“Display instead the pictures of our heroes. We are nothing compared to them. We have not yet arrived at that. I’ll issue the order. I want our children to emulate our heroes. As you see, some of those who are on the display photos had faced cases of graft and corruption,” he added. (VoxPop Philippines)
