FO With PBBM If Involved In Corruption

-Gillian Paul Abayon

President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. In his podcast before going to India for an official State visit, has said that officials who are involved in corruption, even if they were his allies they need to be held accountable for the crimes against the people.

“Yung dinadaanan na hirap na dinadanas ng ating mga kababayan, they have to be told who is responsible, and somebody has to answer for their suffering”. The President said.

“Sorry na lang. Hindi na kita kaalyado kung ganyan ang ginagawa mo, ayaw na kitang kaalyado,” he said when asked regarding if those individuals are from his circle.

The Presidential Communications Office stated that the podcast episode was meant to answer some issues that were not tackled in his fourth State of the Nation Address last monday, July 28.

In his SONA, PBBM called out power and water providers for their interrupted services that are a huge headache for household consumers.

He also ordered the Department of Public Works and Highways to submit a list of flood control projects that were “started or completed in the last three years.”
