MANILA – Senator Manny Pacquiao accepted on Tuesday the challenge posed by President Rodrigo Duterte, and declared that he would name corrupt government agencies in the current administration.
“Tinatanggap ko ang hamon ng Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte. Salamat po at binigyan nyo kami ng pagkakataon na tumulong sa inyo at bigyan kayo ng mga impormasyon para kampanya kontra korapsyon,” Pacquiao said in a statement.
“Mawalang galang po mahal na Pangulo, nguni’t hindi ako sinungaling. May mga naging pagkakamali ako sa buhay na aking itinuwid at itinama nguni’t dalawang bagay ang kaya kong panghawakan. Hindi ako tiwali at hindi ako sinungaling,” he added.
On Monday night, Duterte told Pacquiao to name corrupt agencies or else he would campaign against him in the 2022 national elections.(©Philippine Daily Inquirer 2021)
