The Duterte magic in the last elections, gave him the presidency and now,
his allies wishes to be put in the same winning position. And that is if they will be identified and endorsed by the President himself.
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte announced that he will campaign for those
candidates that are for corrupt-free in the upcoming 2019 mid term elections
and he has stated that he will make his choices public after Christmas Day.

“So I will campaign in – not now, maybe after Christmas – then I will
announce my choices, who those people are,” Duterte said.
He said he would “come up with a
list,” he told his audience that he would “choose people well.”
The President was in Cagayan de Oro last Wednesday where he led the
distribution of Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) to 3,400 agrarian
reform beneficiaries.
He said that the qualities his looking for are those having competency
and honesty.
“I told them that I only have one requirement. Competence and if you
have the capability and if you are honest. That’s my only requirement. That’s a
standard for all of them to follow. Never make a mistake with corruption,”
President said.
“That’s what I said. I will
support you as long as you are not corrupt and if you have the capacity,”
Duterte added.
Duterte called out the members of the Philippine National Police and the
Armed Forces of the Philippines , including those government officials not to
engage in any partisan politics.
“They can campaign for me, but I told them not to. Don’t. That would be
complicated because you’ll be using government-owned vehicles and planes,” he
said.
Duterte also said he will be actively campaigning for his choices in the
upcoming mid term elections.
“Just let me be because I am President. I’m just one person after all.
And the President is always a politician because he is elected by the people,”
he said.
