MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday urged governors to actively expose any irregularities in government projects amid the mounting controversies on flood control projects.
In his speech during the oath-taking of the newly elected officers of the League of Provinces of the Philippines (LPP) in Malacañang, the President said that public funds were meant for the welfare of the nation and not for personal gain.
"That is why I urge you: Serve the people with utmost honesty; ensure that national and provincial projects are in order; and expose any wrongdoing you discover," Marcos told governors., This news data comes from:http://www.052298.com
