‘It is a patriotic duty to serve the country’

A former governor of Tawi-Tawi province in southern Philippines will gladly accept an invitation from President-elect Rodrigo Duterte to serve in the Cabinet of the country’s presumptive leader or in the Davao provinces.

“Just to be invited by the President [is a huge privilege for me and my family]. If I were to be called right now by the President to serve [his official family] or in the Davao provinces, I would fly [there] immediately.” Ali Tillah told The Manila Times in an interview on Friday.
