Davao City Vice Mayor Rody Duterte: I'm not qualified to head DILG
DAVAO CITY -- Vice Mayor Rodrigo Duterte downplayed reports that he is on the shortlist of candidates to replace the late Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo.
In an interview after Friday's mass wedding at Plaza 9 gymnasium in NHA Subdivision, Ma-a, Duterte said he is not qualified for the position that Robredo left.
"This is my personal assessment," he said.
Together with Duterte in the shortlist is Sarangani Governor Miguel Rene Dominguez, who is a member of the Liberal Party.
Duterte admitted that he also declined an offer by President Benigno Aquino III even before the late Robredo took the helm of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) post two years ago.
Even during the time of former Presidents Fidel V. Ramos and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the DILG post has been offered to Duterte.
