PCO READY TO BRIEF SENATE ON ITS PROGRAMS – PALACE

The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) is prepared to brief the Senate on its programs and policies, Malacañang said Friday. 

This comes after Senator Robinhood Padilla filed a resolution seeking a Senate investigation into the PCO’s alleged dissemination of “unverified, potentially propagandizing, and misleading information” that he claimed contributed to public confusion. 

PCO acting Secretary Dave Gomez expressed readiness to cooperate with the Senate should it conduct an inquiry. Palace Press Officer Claire Castro emphasized that the agency welcomes the resolution, saying it will help clarify matters and assist lawmakers in their work. 

Castro, however, described Padilla’s allegations as “disappointing,” noting that if the senator had watched the PCO’s press briefings in full, he would have seen how the office presents government programs and projects in a factual and service-oriented manner.

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.”
