'CORRUPTION STEALS FREEDOM'
Sa Independence Day speech ni Vice President Sara Duterte sa Davao City ngayong June 12, 2026, binigyang diin niya na ang kalayaan ay hindi lang nawawala sa pagsuko sa mga dayuhang mananakop.
"Nawawala rin ito sa tuwing ang serbisyo publiko ay nagiging pribadong negosyo. Ang korapsyon ay hindi lamang pagnanakaw ng pera. It steals opportunity, it steals dignity, and it steals hope. And ultimately, it steals freedom itself," bahagi ng pahayag ni VP Duterte.

Vice President Sara Duterte led the 128th Independence Day commemoration rites in Davao City on Friday morning. In her speech, she emphasized how sovereignty and freedom can be lost to corruption.
“Ang korapsyon ay hindi lamang pagnanakaw ng pera. It steals opportunity, it steals dignity, and it steals hope. And ultimately, it steals freedom itself,” she said.
She also called on Filipinos to ‘resolutely stand up again for truth, for accountability, for freedom, and for sovereignty.’
