Go to Pacquiao: Anti-corruption drive improved under Duterte

In response to Senator Manny Pacquiao’s claims of corruption, Senator Bong Go on Friday said the government’s anti-corruption efforts had improved under the Duterte administration.

In an ambush interview in Manila, the former presidential aid stressed the determination of President Rodrigo Duterte to eradicate corruption in the government.

“Magiging biased naman po ako kay Pangulong Duterte dahil malapit po kami pero sa pagka-alam ko sa pagiging serious po ni Pangulo sa kampanya laban sa iligal na droga, kampanya laban sa katiwalian sa gobyerno, kampanya laban sa kriminalidad, tuluy-tuloy po ‘yan from Day 1 hanggang ngayon patapos na ang kanyang termino, tuluy-tuloy po ‘yan, hindi po ako naniniwalang lumala,” said Go.

“Naniniwala po ako na mayroong improvement po at talagang seryoso po ang ating mahal na Pangulo na sugpuin po ‘yun dahil siya po mismo nagiging halimbawa po siya sa Pilipino,” he added.

“Diyan, matagal kami sa Malacanang, totoo ‘yung sinabi niya ni piso po, any government transaction, hindi po nakikialam si Pangulong Duterte at hindi po kami nakikialam,” he added.

Pacquiao, Go’s colleague, filed a resolution on Thursday calling for a Senate inquiry into the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s alleged inability to distribute P10.4 billion in Social Amelioration Program funds.

Previously, the DSWD denied that amounts of money were missing from the delivery of financial aid to low-income households who bore the brunt of the Covid-19 pandemic’s lockdown restrictions.

The DSWD has stated that it is prepared to face any investigation into Pacquiao’s allegations.
