Many Changes in the Positions
In the most recent meeting the President had with the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF); he said that there'll be a lot of changes in the posts and positions.
Furthermore, Duterte said that this was due to the fact that they're using it to take advantage of getting funds for their personal use.
President Rodrigo Duterte even spoke the names of officials in the Department of Public Works and Highways, as well as the Bureau of Immigration who will face suspension because of corruption.
Do not ever think that you are indispensable. Maraming Pilipinong graduate ang mahuhusay na honest. Maraming walang trabaho ngayon. Kayong taga-gobyerno na may trabaho, take care of your position. Do not allow even a dent of anomaly na dumaan sa opisina mo."

Get a Reward for Reporting Corrupt Government Officials
In addition to that, President Rodrigo Duterte urged people to tell him and his Administration about any problems or cases of corruption that they figure out.
Pag malaking mga contract, ibulong mo lang na iluluto 'yan. I will give you ₱100,000. And I will keep your identity a secret until I reach my grave."
In Translation: If it's a big contract involved, just secretly tell me that it's being materialized. I will keep your identity a secret until I reach my grave.
He told anyone who would be willing to inform him about it that they can pass the information to any of the Cabinet members. In addition to that, he also told people to tell him in case they will be harassed by the government official.
I will deal with the devil. 'Yan ang gusto ko. Bumaril ng tao na legal. Kaya kung inaano ka, tinatakot ka, paalamin mo ako. I’d be happy to make you happy. Okay?"
