Pacquiao vows revolution against corruption

Presidential candidate Senator Manny Pacquiao vowed to launch a "2022 Revolution Against Corruption" and put corrupt officials in jail if he wins the presidency.

He drew parallels to the 1986 People Power Revolution, stating that it was fueled by widespread corruption, and lamented that despite 36 years passing, corruption and poverty persist.

Pacquiao urged Filipinos to vote for a leader who will not steal, especially with the threat of another Marcos taking Malacañang.

He proposed lifetime imprisonment for corrupt government officials without the possibility of pardon.

Former ACT Teachers Party-list Rep. Antonio Tinio and former Kabataan Party-list Rep. Terry Riddon believe that both Vice President Leni Robredo and Senator Pacquiao offer hope for good governance and are capable of cleansing government of dishonest and corrupt officials.

Ridon specifically cited Pacquiao's sincerity and genuine concern for the poor as reasons to rely on him for good governance.

Tinio challenged both Robredo and Pacquiao to change the system of patronage politics.
