Statement on PDAF/DAP Re-investigation

I support the move of the Department of Justice to re-investigate the PDAF and DAP scandals. After all of these years, the terms "PDAF" and "DAP" are still synonymous with corruption and abuse of power. The Filipino people continue to demand that the people responsible for these scams be held accountable for their sins against the nation. Unfortunately, these demands were largely ignored by the previous administration.

This is the perfect opportunity for the embattled Secretary of Justice to prove his critics wrong and deliver the justice the people continue to clamor for. I expect the Department of Justice to conduct a thorough, objective, and fearless investigation which will hold these plunderers responsible for their crimes, no matter what their political affiliation may be.
