Integrity is Non-Negotiable

The AMLC's success in freezing ₱6.3 billion in assets is a commendable and decisive victory for the Filipino people. It is a powerful validation of the "Maasahan at Masipag" (Reliable and Tireless) leadership that President Marcos has promised. This action, targeting 45 properties and 81 vehicles, demonstrates "Reliable Integrity."

But this must only be the beginning. Now, the "Tireless Oversight" must truly begin.

A freeze order is a critical first step, but it is not the final one. The nation's watchdog groups, business sector, and reform advocates must now see this process through. The AMLC, ICI, and the Office of the Ombudsman must move with equal, principled vigor toward prosecution and conviction.

If this ₱6.3 billion investigation...fails to secure convictions, it will send a message that the state is powerless, and corruption will become even more rampant than before. The stakes are simply too high for failure.

This administration has drawn a clear line in the sand against the misuse of public funds. The choice for the nation, from policymakers to private contractors, is simple: either we fully support this campaign for fiscal integrity, or we surrender the nation's treasury to the corrupt.

We stand by this reformist agenda. This is the standard of moral governance we demand. We call on all agencies to ensure this ₱6.3 billion does not just remain a statistic, but becomes a symbol of ultimate justice and the protection of every single peso for the people.
