Malacañang said investors are taking notice of the government’s serious efforts to clean up corruption and address the misuse of public funds.
“Sa ating pagkakatingin, nakikita ng mga investors kung paano nililinis ng kasalukuyang administrasyon ang ating bansa mula sa korapsyon, sa isyu ng pang-aabuso sa pondo ng bayan,” Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said during a Palace press briefing on Friday (January 30).
Castro said that demonstrating the administration’s seriousness in holding those involved accountable for the flood control anomalies would not only reassure investors but also strengthen public trust in President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and the government.
The Palace Press Officer reiterated that President Marcos has issued a directive to all government agencies to maintain the highest standards of integrity.
“Binanggit na natin ang ayaw ng Pangulo na maisyu ang ibang mga ahensiya sa korapsyon, dapat lamang sila ay magsumikap at tumupad sa kanilang tungkulin at tuparin ang batas,” Castro said.
