BONGBONG MARCOS – 17th President of the Philippines Bongbong Marcos speaks about corruption in the country.

“Ah corruption? Kalimutan na lang natin ‘yung nakaraan. Sasabihin natin, ‘Ah sige that’s not under my watch, hindi ako, hindi ako namamahala noon eh. Ngayon ako na namamahala, so wala nang ganyan.”
The incoming Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles said that the president doesn’t necessarily mean that all the past records should be erased. Angeles explained that the pending cases will still continue.
In a recent report from ABS-CBN, PBBM assured that corruption will have no place under his leadership. He believes that in some areas, this activity has become endemic and he, being a new leader, will make sure to “reduce the corrosive influence of corruption in government as general rule”.
Meanwhile, in the recent press conference, there were only three media outfits were invited. He also expressed that he will deep look into the agricultural sector of the country to boost food security. Accordingly, he observed that during times of crisis, food supply gets critical.
