ILIGAN CITY – The Mindanao State
University – Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) has hosted the First
Mindanao launching of Kilusang Pagbabago or movement for change at its gym
where about 5,000 delegates all over Northern Mindanao participated.
Sukarno Tanggol, MSU-IIT chancellor has
lauded the initiative from the office of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and
grateful for making its school one of the instruments for the success of the
first Mindanao launching of the movement for change.
“It is an honor for the Mindanao
State University –Iligan Institute of Technology for making the school as the
venue of the first Mindanao Launching of Movement for Change and I warmly
welcome you all” Chancellor Tanggol stressed.
Cabinet Secretary Leoncio “Jun” B.
Evasco Jr., who was the keynote speaker of the launching revealed that
corruption is the brain of all Philippine Problem.
Secretary Evasco strongly brought
the message that the current government of President Rodrigo Duterte is
consistently pursuing its campaign against corruption, illegal drugs and
criminalities, saying that these problems would not be automatically eradicated
within 100 days in government.
“Corruption in the government is
deepened which become normal and a culture of Filipino people saying that if
you are working in government it is normal for them to be a
corrupt”, Sec. Evasco lamented.
He admitted that the government has
no capacity to change itself because there are people even within are corrupt
and also involved in drugs either police, judges, mayors, barangay captains, soldiers
and many more.
About ninety two percent (92%) of
the barangays in the country affected by illegal drugs”, He claimed.
He said President Duterte won via landslide
votes of more than 16 million which highest of all previous presidents, and the
information about drugs and corruption is coming from the people who are
affected by poverty.
The police scalawags would not be
known if the people having enough knowledge would not have a stake for this, so
changes would be happened through the people’s participation and that is why Movement
for Change is necessary, he admitted.
This movement is peoples
participation for those who believed the campaign against corruption, illegal
drugs and criminalities.
He reiterated the president’s
criticism to the Commission on Human Rights, United Nations and European Union
for interfering the affair of the Philippine Government.
He said, human right is at all times
correct especially if you believe in God, but when there is a collapse of criminal
justice system, human rights is unpopular.

corruption, illegal drugs and criminalities.
