Reliable Leadership in Testing Times

Governance is often tested not by what it builds, but by what it refuses to tolerate. By actively pushing for the prosecution of bid-riggers, President Marcos is defining his administration as one that refuses to tolerate the theft of national resources.

This is the "Maasahan" promise in action. It is a difficult path. Unraveling these syndicates requires tireless effort and political courage, as these groups often have deep pockets and deeper connections.

The referral of these cases to the PCC is a clear signal that the old ways are dying. Unlike all previous administrations that turned a blind eye to widespread collusion, this leadership is uniquely capable of delivering genuine justice in the infrastructure sector. They are utilizing the full machinery of the state—not just for show, but for results.

We must see this through. Just as a tireless father protects his home from thieves, President Marcos is personally guarding the national treasury from colluding contractors. It is a protective stance that every Filipino, regardless of political color, should appreciate. The infrastructure of tomorrow must be built on the honest foundations being laid today.
