Lacson to Marcos: Don’t waver against corruption
Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo "Ping" Lacson urged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to remain steadfast in his anti-corruption efforts amidst declining public trust.
Lacson cited the flood control corruption scandal and recent surveys showing waning popularity for Marcos as critical issues demanding decisive action.
He expressed hope that the President would not waver, recalling his strong "Mahiya naman kayo!" remark during the State of the Nation Address.
Lacson noted that a more awakened and angry citizenry is increasingly exposed to detailed acts of corruption, requiring national leaders to brace for more accountability issues in 2026.
As chairman of the Blue Ribbon Committee, Lacson pledged to intensify investigations and continue exposing corruption.
