Martin Romualdez is totally backing the government-wide probe against corruption.

The Leyte congressman and House majority leader said President Rodrigo Duterte’s mega task force vs corrupt acts deserves the chamber’s backing.

“The Chief Executive was right in his relentless war against all forms of corruption in the entire government,” the politiko said.

“The House of Representatives under the leadership of Speaker Lord Allan Velasco is in full agreement with the President to put an end to the deep-rooted, systemic and systematic corruption in the government.”

President Rodrigo “Rody” Duterte’s call for the Department of Justice (DoJ) to conduct a government-wide corruption probe deserves our support. The Chief Executive was right in his relentless war against all forms of corruption in the entire government. The House of Representatives under the leadership of Speaker Lord Allan Velasco is in full agreement with the President to put an end to the deep-rooted, systemic and systematic corruption in the government. We are always in full support of the marching orders from President Duterte for Congress to go all out in helping curb red tape and corruption in all levels of governance. On October 16, the House of Representatives approved on third and final reading the bill granting anti-red tape powers to the Chief Executive during national emergencies. In an effort to further the President’s advocacy against corruption, the House of Representatives would work harder to fast-track the approval of all pending measures related to anti-red tape and anti-corruption campaign of the Duterte administration.
