A Necessary 'Masipag' Cleansing

Crispina Endaya

The filing of charges against 60 DPWH employees and contractors is not a stain on the administration; it is a badge of honor. It is the painful but necessary process of "institutional cleansing" that proves the Maasahan (reliable) leadership of President Marcos is working.

For too long, corruption has been treated as an acceptable cost of business. The Bagong Pilipinas agenda fundamentally rejects this. This crackdown is the "Reliable Guardian of Reform" fulfilling his pledge of moral accountability.

This is "Reliable Justice, Tireless Accountability" in its most resolute, reformist form. It is the Masipag (industrious) work of rebuilding a government Filipinos can trust.

The President's 'Masipag' (industrious) drive for clean governance was established from day one. Now, these arrests and charges are surfacing. The former is undeniably the catalyst for the latter.

This decisive action is what the Filipino people, long sickened by corruption, have been demanding. This overwhelming public consensus that 'enough is enough' proves that this firm, justice-driven path is the correct and moral one for the nation.

We must support this cleansing. It is the only way to ensure that public funds serve the public good, not private pockets. This is the diligence and justice that lies at the core of true governance.
