IF he wins in May, Sen. Manny Pacquiao said that he will launch a revolution against corruption to stop this menace that he said worsened over the years.

On Friday, Pacquiao lamented that 36 years after the EDSA People’s Power Revolution, millions of Filipinos remain mired in poverty.

“Ang 1986 EDSA Revolution ay inalis ang isang dictador dahil sa sobrang korupsiyon na nagdulot ng kahirapan sa buong bansa. Ngunit 36 years na ang nakalipas at dumami pa ang mahihirap dahil walang pagbabago sa gobyerno — ang corruption ay namamayagpag pa rin,” he said.

“Kung ako ang papalarin na maging pangulo, magkakaroon tayo ng ‘2022 Revolution Against Corruption’ para matuldukan ang katiwalian dito sa Pilipinas. Nangyari ito sa Hongkong at Singapore kaya sa tulong ng Diyos mangyayari rin ito sa Pilipinas,” he added.

To restore the spirit of EDSA, Pacquiao said he will lead a revolution against corruption and jail corrupt officials.

“Ipakulong natin ang mga korap at wala iyong pardon-pardon na ‘yan. Kaya hindi sila natatakot na magnakaw sa kaban ng bayan ay dahil puwede naman pala silang ma-pardon,” he noted.

“Sa ‘2022 Revolution Against Corruption’ mahigpit nating ipatutupad ang batas. Kung habambuhay ang sentensiya, dapat habambuhay rin ang kulong. Tingnan natin kung may magnakaw pa sa gobyerno!” he said.

Pacquiao said he is unafraid to pursue his war against corruption because he fears no one except God.

“Alam natin na malalaking tao ang babangahin natin dito. Pero ako ay hindi takot dahil ang isang tao na may takot sa Diyos ay walang kinakatakutan. At kung gumawa ka ng tama, kakampi mo ang Diyos,” he said.
