said.
Topic 2
To decongest passengers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), Duterte said he's
eyeing Clark International Airport for domestic flights. For this, he asked Transporation
Secretary Arthur Tugade to study a road network heading to Pampanga.
Knowing how airport congestion burdened the ordinary travellers, the President said he
didn't want any special treatment whenever he would take a flight.
He told the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) that he should not be treated
differently from the other suffering Filipino passengers.
Topic 3
Known for his no-nonsense stance on illegal drugs and criminals, the President now added
another item to his hit list: online gambling.
He directed Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) chief Andrea Domingo
to cancel "sometime soon" the licenses given to online casinos which have sprouted across
the country.
Duterte cited the adverse effects of gambling to a person.
"In Davao they're at it but I stopped it on time. Mahirap yan puro sugal ang alam," he said
(It's not good to be gambling all the time).
"And there is no way of collecting taxes there online."
Topic 4
The former Davao City mayor also reiterated his disdain for corruption. He said he didn't
want fixers at the Land Transportation Office (LTO) and the Land Registration Authority (LRA).

"Pag ayaw nilang maniwala, eh di (If they won't take this seriously) we'll just have to arrest
them and lecture them somewhere else," he warned.
He also repeated his order for government agencies to fast-track the processing of
documents: that it should be finished within three days.

Topic 5
In the wake of an announcement that a decision on the Philippines' maritime case would be
out by July 12, Duterte said he didn't want to pick a fight with China and he would rather
wait and study first the ruling before making his next move.
Before this, Foreign Affairs Secretary Perfecto Yasay had aired similar sentiments saying
Manila should not come out with strong statements against Beijing even if the Philippines
won the case.
It can be recalled that during the third and last presidential debate, Duterte had said that he
would take a jet ski and plant a Philippine flag in disputed territories should China refuse to
recognize a favorable ruling for the Philippines
