MANILA, Philippines — Shortly after arriving in Davao City from Peru Wednesday night, President Rodrigo Duterte threatened to abolish the ERC amid allegations of corruption in the agency, which came to light after the death of director Francisco Villa Jr.

Duterte said he is serious about the campaign against corruption, and admitted feeling exasperated at hearing persistent reports about illegal activities in the agency. — Video report by Efigenio Toledo IV
