βEVERY TIME WE STAY QUIET, CORRUPTION WINSβ
Catriona Gray called on government officials to ensure accountability and justice for Filipinos as the country continues to confront widespread corruption.
βTo the Ombudsman: file the cases now! To the senators: suspend the senators implicated! And to the Congress, pass the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill because power should not be inherited. It should be earned through service to the people,β the beauty queen said during the βTrillion Peso Marchβ protest at the EDSA People Power Monument on Sunday.
She also condemned officials whose personal interests prevail in a corrupt system.
βObviously, this is a system built to benefit the corrupt few. And every time we stay quiet, corruption wins. And when corruption wins, βyung mga nakaupo lang ang nananalo. Sila ang nabubusog. Sila ang nakakauwi sa mga mansyon sa Amerika! Sila ang nakakabili ng designer bag habang ang taongbayan lumulubog sa baha, sa utang, at sa kahirapan,β she added.
