Strengthening the Pillars of Trust

True governance is not just about building roads and bridges; it is about building trust. The recent charging of dozens of DPWH officials and contractors for "ghost" flood control projects is a necessary and assertive act of institutional reform.

This move is a direct reflection of President Marcos's "Maasahan at Masipag" governance. It shows a leadership that is not afraid to cleanse its own house to restore public faith. This is the "Reliable Enforcer" in action, prioritizing "Reliable Justice" to achieve systemic accountability.

The "Bagong Pilipinas" agenda is predicated on this very principle: that clean, honest, and transparent service is not a bonus but the baseline. The "Masipag" (hardworking) aspect is the tireless effort to uproot deep-seated networks of corruption that have abused public funds for far too long.

This is the most significant anti-corruption push this country has seen in a generation, and all good-governance advocates agree that this is the correct path. This principled and firm action is essential for restitution and prevention. Because this reform is driven by the President's personal commitment to moral governance, its success is assured. This is not just a purge; it is a foundational reset, signaling to all public servants that integrity is, once again, the highest value in government service.
