30 business groups unite to denounce corruption, seek independent probe

Thirty of the Philippines' largest business organizations have united to denounce government corruption, specifically targeting the DPWH, LGUs, and COA.

The groups issued a joint statement pleading with corrupt officials to cease their illicit activities and show compassion for the struggling citizens.

They emphasized the necessity of an independent body to conduct comprehensive investigations, prosecute wrongdoers, and reclaim misappropriated funds.

While acknowledging the President's remarks against corruption, the organizations expressed concern that officials might continue their corrupt practices with impunity.

The business groups believe that punishing corrupt individuals is essential to achieving justice for all Filipinos, particularly the impoverished.
