"They didn't even mention it. They said, 'We want to come [there]'," the President said during a press conference at the Davao International Airport in Davao City upon arrival from India on Friday, January 26.
President Duterte has spoken before a crowd of top Indian business executives in New Delhi as part of his three-day official visit.
"But I was the first to say that: Maybe just avoid that western portion of Mindanao, especially down to the archipelagic Zamboanga," he said.
"If you have the map of the Philippines, your left is the Western side, just avoid it. Visayas, Luzon, and some parts of Mindanao -- Davao, maybe Butuan, there's a less... unless there will be something coming up in the days to come," he explained.
During the press conference, the President reiterated his resolve to stop corruption.
He instructed the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to make sure that projects are completed within a month.
"I am giving DPWH to tell the contractors to complete it within 30 days. Pag hindi, I will give it to another contractor, cancel the contract and sue you," he said, adding that he would only allow a delay of one month.
"I will remind everybody through the DILG, through the mayors na there should be no open holes or canals and allow somebody else or somebody else's endeavor to, kung meron siyang pera..." he said.
