VP Duterte, PBBM clash as "Mahiya naman kayo" speech sparks corruption debate

Vice President Sara Duterte and President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. engaged in a public dispute, with a yet-unnamed presidential candidate observing the conflict.

The article suggests a potential shift in the fight against corruption in the Philippines, marked by President Marcos Jr.'s recent "Mahiya naman kayo" speech.

Despite some perceived progress, the author notes that the steps taken are minimal and far from achieving a corruption-free nation.

The recent "arrest" of flood control contractor Sarah Discaya is presented as an example of this progress, although it is criticized for being a pre-arranged surrender rather than a genuine apprehension.

The author implies that many other individuals should also be facing legal consequences for corrupt practices, questioning the selective nature of these actions.
