ORMOC CITY, Leyte —Presidential candidate and Senator Panfilo Lacson on Wednesday contradicted his political rival Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s proposal that the Presidential Commission on Good Government should also go after other individuals, and not just the Marcos family.
“Wala . Actually, ‘yung PCGG was created to run after the Marcos wealth. Kung i-expand, mayroon naman tayong PACC na, ‘di ba? Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission and mayroon tayong [Office of the] Ombudsman, mayroon tayong Sandiganbayan,” Lacson said when asked to react on Marcos’ idea. “Instead of directing themselves against the Marcoses only, I mean kung meron akong corrupt na kamag-anak, eh di lalabas ang pangalan niya but not only us, lahat,” he said.
“They’re already there. Eh 'di gamitin mo na. Patibayin mo pa para talagang meron kang agency na walang ginawa kundi nagbabantay na walang gumagawa ng kalokohan,” he said.Likewise, Marcos Jr. said that he will set an example by not tolerating graft and corruption in his administration.
