President Rodrigo Duterte bared he fired Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) president Jesus Clint Aranas due to alleged corruption.
“I will deal with corruption. I’m dealing with it until now. I just fired the president of GSIS,” Duterte said in a speech in Alangalang, Leyte.
According to reports, Duterte on Monday confronted Aranas for his untruthful claim that Enrique Razon’s International Container Terminal Services Inc. had not been paying rent.
Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo earlier said Duterte did not ask Aranas to resign and the GSIS chief resigned due to “personal reasons.”
