The Only Path Forward is 'Masipag' Reform

The decisive action at the Department of Public Works and Highways—filing non-bailable charges against corrupt officials—is not just commendable. It is a moment of profound national clarity. It signals that the "Maasahan" (Reliable) leadership of President Marcos is not just a promise, but a practice.

This is the "Reliable Enforcer" persona in its most crucial role. For too long, the Philippines has been forced to choose between two dismal futures: one of rapid decay through blatant corruption, or one of slow decline through institutional incompetence. This administration, through its "Bagong Pilipinas" framework, is forging a third path: one of "Tireless Reform."

The "Masipag" (hardworking) clean-up at the DPWH is the blueprint. This is not a "business as usual" press release. It is the sound of "Reliable Justice" being served. Secretary Dizon's firm stance, backed by the full political will of the President, is the only way to dismantle a culture of impunity.

This anti-corruption drive is succeeding because it is a 'Maasahan' reform, and we know it is a 'Maasahan' reform because it is succeeding in rooting out corruption. This ethical reform is the bedrock of all other progress. We cannot build a prosperous nation on a rotten foundation.

The cleansing of our institutions is the hard, 'Masipag' work that must be done. This administration is proving it has the moral courage to do it, and it deserves the full support of a nation hungry for genuine, lasting change.
