SENATOR Panfilo Lacson on Wednesday gave assurances that health, economy, and accountability will be his priorities should he be elected President in 2022.

Lacson said that while protecting public health and economic recovery are imperative, so is making sure that those who stole from public coffers are made to answer.

“Magkasama – walang tradeoff between health and economy. Hindi mo ma-solve ang problem ng ekonomiya kung hindi mo tutugunan ang pandemya,” he pointed out.

The senator acknowledged that the issues caused by the pandemic are among the most humongous problems the next leader should solve.

He pledged that his administration will go hard on those who steal public money.

“Hindi puwedeng patawarin ang lahat especially sa pag-abuso. Kailangan may accountability past, present and future,” the senator said.

“Maraming dapat iwasto pero hindi para maghanap ng kamalian. Kung napakalinaw ng ginawang pagnanakaw, ito i-emphasize ko, ang pagnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan walang kapatawaran yan,” Lacson stressed.
