Duterte-Cayetano to export Davao's and Taguig's best anti-corruption practices to other regions
 
“Davao and Taguig are our Exhibits A and B. What Mayor Duterte and I did there, we will do for the country.”
 
This is what vice presidential candidate and Senate Majority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano said to transport workers of Angeles, Pampanga on Saturday.
 
During the “Ronda-Serye” listening tour, the transport workers presented to Cayetano their concerns such as the lack of a terminal for tricycle drivers in the area. The senator said that transportation infrastructure is a major concern that he and Duterte will address, if elected in the May polls.
 
Cayetano said that they will ensure that all permits needed for infrastructure projects such as a terminal will be issued within six days. Otherwise, the officials involved in the processing will be held accountable for the delay. The senator also proposed a one-window processing and electronic transactions to expedite the processes.
 
"Inefficiency breeds corruption. Corruption results in disorder. Under our term, we will eliminate the red tape and other unnecessary bureaucracy and bottlenecks in the process of building important transportation infrastructure," Cayetano said.
 
The tandem said that in Davao, it only takes 57 days to secure construction permits, versus the 169-day waiting period in Metro Manila. Meanwhile, this year, Taguig scored 92.31 percent or a rating of “excellent” from the Civil Service Commission’s Anti-Red Tape Report Card.
 
“Mayor Duterte and I will make sure that there will be no corruption delaying the processes that aim to improve the quality of life of every Filipino,” said Cayetano.
 
“We offer the citizens political will and strength of character to deliver bold solutions and swift action to end the daily disorder in the lives of the people," Cayetano said.
