Lacson pushes for sustained public outrage, non-violence vs corruption

Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson urges Filipinos to maintain public outrage against government irregularities but to remain non-violent.

Lacson stated that public pressure is crucial for the government, including Malacañang, the Ombudsman, and the Department of Justice, to continue their efforts in addressing corruption.

He emphasized that a decrease in public anger could lead to a slackening of government actions against those involved in anomalies.

Lacson also pointed to the recent issuance of arrest warrants against ex-Rep. Elizaldy Co and others linked to flood control projects as evidence that no one is untouchable.

He cautioned against violence, citing the September 21 protest where some demonstrators damaged traffic lights, and encouraged a thorough investigation to reach a just conclusion.
