Pres. Aquino to Filipinos: Unite in Fight Vs Corruption, Poverty

Published

President Benigno S. Aquino III on Friday called for unity among Filipinos in fighting corruption and poverty to achieve independence.

“Malinaw po: Sa pagbibigkis nananaig ang ating mga bayani sa pagkamit ng kalayaan, kaya’t sa pagbibigkis din malalampasan ang suliraning ating hinaharap sa kasalukuyan,” the President said in his speech during the 117th Independence Day rites in Sta. Barbara, Iloilo.

President Aquino said his administration has started trailing the “Daang Matuwid” (straight path) to return a government that truly serves and represents the goals of the Filipino people.

“Ang panata natin: Walang maiiwan sa kaunlaran, nasa Luzon man, Visayas o Mindanao; bawat Pilipino, makikinabang sa tinatamasa nating pag-unlad. Hindi puwedeng aangat lang ang nasa itaas, habang ang ibaba, napag-iiwanan,” he said.

The Chief Executive cited the expansion of the government’s anti-poverty Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) which now covers more than 4.4 million household beneficiaries nationwide.

President Aquino said irrigation projects are also developed to benefit a large number of farmers.

“Tiwala po ako: Basta’t nananatili tayong tumatahak sa Daang Matuwid, maipagpapatuloy natin ang pagbabagong ating tinatamasa sa kasalukuyan. Sa pag-usbong ng makabagong teknolohiya at sa panahon ng social media, may higit na tayong kakayahan, at mas malalim na responsibilidad na makiisa sa paghahanap ng solusyon sa ating mga problema,” he said.

The Chief Executive expressed confidence that Filipinos could continue reforms his administration started.

“…Taumbayan ang bahala; taumbayan ang magpapatuloy ng pagbabagong sila mismo ang gumawa. Alam nila kung ano ang tama, at kung ano ang mali. Tiwala akong pipiliin nilang muli ang nararapat na pinuno, lalo pa’t nakikita nila ang resulta ng ating mabuting pamamahala,” President Aquino said. (PNA) FFC/LDV
