“We will come up with the specifications, the projected cost and everything --- just like the Swiss challenge,” Duterte explained.
“We will present it to you. I’ll give you 10 percent for mobilization. But you must be a company with a track record. You must have the equipment. And I will not allow subcontracts, which means to say that those who --- a few people that have also improved their lives maybe have reached the middle-income state because of that,” he said.
During the President's speech he also warned local officials who are sitting on their job, he don't want to threaten the officials but they need to do their duty or else he can always suspend or dismiss them if proven guilty of negligence.
