PBBM: NO NEED FOR CHARTER CHANGE TO FIGHT CORRUPTION

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. believes that solving corruption doesn’t require amending the Constitution, according to Palace Press Officer Claire Castro.

“Ang Pangulo po ay hindi sumasang-ayon para sa isang Constitutional change… Marami na pong batas na maaaring gamitin kung susunod lamang ang mga public officials natin,” Castro said in a Malacañang briefing.

She emphasized the need for a “change of attitude and heart” among public servants, not a change in the Charter.

Castro also cited the BBM Podcast, where the President stressed that LGUs must formally accept national infrastructure projects—a safeguard removed by the previous administration.

“Ang kailangan ay change of attitude ng mga officers at change of heart, maging maka-Pilipino, maging makabayan.” (PND)

Quote of the week

Sorry na lang. Hindi na kita kaalyado kung ganyan ang ginagawa mo. Ayaw na kitang kaalyado….

Oo, ‘yung pinakamalaking naging problema ‘yung foreign-assisted projects, tinanggal halos lahat nung funding. Kailangan natin ibalik ‘yun dahil importante ‘yung mga foreign-assisted projects. At saka sinisira  pati ‘yan ang reputation natin.

And the worst part of this all, ‘yung napupunta kung minsan ‘yung mga project na hindi maganda, napupunta sa unappropriated. Ano ‘yun, utang ‘yun. Nangungutang tayo para mangurakot itong mga ito.   Sobra na ‘yun. Sobra na ‘yun

“Our fundamental law is clear: the end does not justify the means.”

“There is a right way to do the right thing at the right time.  This is what the Rule of Just Law means.  This is what fairness or due process of law means, even for impeachment.” (Leonen, SAJ. Duterte v. House of Representatives)

“It is not our duty to favor any political result. Ours is to ensure that politics are framed within the Rule of Just Law.

We cannot concede the sobriety of fairness inherent in due process of law to the passions of a political moment. Our fundamental law is clear: The end does not justify the means.”
