Poe: No one holds monopoly over 'Tuwid na Daan'

MANILA, Philippines - Sen. Grace Poe on Wednesday vowed to continue President Benigno Aquino III's "Tuwid na Daan" advocacy as she announced her plan for the 2016 national elections.

In her speech, Poe acknowledged the Aquino administration's efforts to eliminate corruption.

"Walang iisang tao o grupo na may monopolya sa Tuwid na Daan. Malaki at malayo na  ang nagawa ni Pangulong Aquino kaugnay sa pagpapanagot sa mga tiwali, at ako’y personal na nagpapasalamat sa kanya dahil nanumbalik muli ang kumpyansa natin sa isang lider na tapat," Poe said.

The senator noted that she will continue the administration's fight against corruption.

"Papanagutin ko ang tiwali, kaibigan man o kaaway, subalit 'di lamang isang tao o partido ang dapat nagsusulong nito, kundi ang bawat isang Pilipino," Poe said.

Poe also vowed to push for the passage of the Freedom of Information bill to strengthen transparency in the government.

The senator is looking forward to pushing reforms that would achieve inclusive growth, global competitiveness and transparent government, among others.
