MANILA: Several lawmakers on Thursday (Dec 25) criticised President Ferdinand Marcos Jr (pic) for not fulfilling his promise to jail even a single “big fish” in the multibillion-peso flood control scandal before Christmas, saying that he just engaged in propaganda.
In a statement released on Christmas Day, the Makabayan bloc, composed of ACT Teachers Rep. Antonio Tinio, Gabriela Rep. Sarah Elago, and Kabataan Rep. Renee Co, said the President’s self-imposed deadline had passed without any major arrests, accusing the administration of offering “empty rhetoric” instead of accountability.
