Statement by the Movement Against Tyranny
August 31, 2021
The Movement Against Tyranny is aghast at the extent of mismanagement and irregularities in the government’s pandemic response, as revealed in the 2020 COA reports and the ongoing Senate investigations.
Particularly odious are the transactions in the DOH, to include overpriced personal protective equipment, medicines and supplies that point to a deliberate scheme to plunder the nation’s coffers under the cover of the pandemic.
Clearly, Sec. Francisco Duque, III has to go. But he is a mere symptom; it’s Duterte who is the disease, the cancer that has to be excised if we are to be saved. In fact others like Duque have not been eliminated, only transferred to other government positions and allowed to fester there, so that they remain under Duterte’s watch and control, lest they be pressured to tell on him.
More than ever, therefore, Duterte should be stopped and brought to justice, before any effort at reform could be credible at all.#
