WATCH: Duterte envious of officials who get bigger pay

MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday admitted that he envies those in government who earn more than he does, receiving salaries of more than P2 million.

"There are officials in government receiving P2,800,000. I should be firing them before the end of the month. All of them," Duterte said, speaking to the business community in Doha, Qatar on April 15.
