00:13Senator Risa Ontiveros urges Filipinos to stay strong, committed, and united in the fight against corruption during her address at the Social Goods Summit 2025.
00:23Ontiveros calls on the public to be relentless in demanding better from their leaders and to immerse themselves and stand with societies most marginalized.
00:30The Philippines doesn't belong to any political dynasty.
00:35It does not belong to warlords, nor to oligarchs, nor to the loudest trolls.
00:43This country is ours.
00:47Ontiveros notes how corruption has become a pervasive and long-standing problem in the Philippines at the expense of ordinary Filipinos.
00:54She cites a recent Social Weather Station survey which found that half of Filipino families consider themselves poor,
01:01while another survey in June found that more than 16% experienced involuntary hunger.
01:05These numbers are revealing an undeniable truth.
01:09Our politics is so broken that it has actually become comfortable with inequality.
01:19We all have a duty to be informed, to speak out, and to help, yes, to help those in need.
01:28We all have oversight of old people to be informed.
