Duterte made the remarks during a private visit to Japan over the weekend during a meeting with local workers, Philippine media reported.
In response to questions about the next presidential election, he said the Philippines continues to regress, stressing that he believes the Philippines can become great.
Duterte is on the verge of impeachment due to allegations of an assassination and misappropriation of the president's budget, with President Ferdinand Marcos returning from an alliance to confrontation.
While the Philippine opposition is seeking to impeach Duterte, about 1.6 million police estimates gathered at a rally against the impeachment of Vice President Duterte in Manila, the capital, on the 13th local time.
