Senator MannyPacquiao on Saturday reiterated that fighting corruption in the government and charging corrupt officials will be among his top priorities if he becomes president.
During the presidential debate organized by the Commission on Elections , Pacquiao warned thieves, including those in the government, that will be sent to jail under his administration.
"Talagang ang sinasama ng loob ko, 'yung mga kawatan diyan sa gobyerno, 'yung mapagsamantala diyan sa gobyerno. Pagdating ng panahon 'yan talaga ang sugpuin ko. Bakit nagkaganito ang mga tao? Because of them. Dahil walang development, walang opportunity na naibibigay natin sa taongbayan," he said. "'Pag si Manny Pacquiao ang naging presidente, humanda na kayong mga kawatan diyan sa gobyerno dahil ipapakita ko sa inyo ang kakaibang administrasyon ni Manny Pacquiao na ang mga kawatan magsama-sama sa kulungan. Mark my word," Pacquiao added.
Pacquiao was responding to a question on what the presidential candidates have so far learned during their campaign that strengthened their plans for the country. The former world boxing champion stressed that his campaign style is not to put up big stages and invite celebrities to perform, but rather go to barangays and poor areas to know the plight of the people there."Tuwing nakikita ko ang mga mahihirap, parang dinudurog 'yung puso ko. Parang nakikita ko ang sarili ko nung araw nung ako ay mahirap," he said.
