Lino Cayetano, Lacson disagree with Alan Peter Cayetano's view on Filipino corruption

Former Taguig City Mayor Lino Cayetano disagreed with his older brother, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano's, assertion that Filipinos are guilty of vote-buying, cheating, and lying.

Senator Alan Peter Cayetano stated that corruption requires national repentance, and those who profit from the system are guilty.

Lino Cayetano countered that such pronouncements do not represent the general populace, whom he described as God-fearing and desiring a peaceful life.

He asserted that stealing, vote-buying, and lying are not inherent traits of Filipinos, and mere repentance is not the solution.

Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo "Ping" Lacson supported Lino Cayetano's view, stating that repentance without corrective action will not end corruption.

Lacson noted that some officials repeatedly engage in corruption, repent, and then repeat their offenses, causing people to suffer.

Both Lino Cayetano and Lacson stressed the need for new leaders and genuine reforms to combat corruption.
