PBBM's reconciliation offer open to all – Palace

President Marcos' call for reconciliation following the elections applies to all groups, including political rivals, but he will never sacrifice accountability for unity, Malacañang said on Wednesday, May 21.

Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro said this after several sectors pointed out that Marcos' peace offering should not come at the expense of accountability.

In her press briefing, Castro said the President remains committed to national unity but firmly rejects the idea that political reconciliation should be used to shield anyone from prosecution.

"It would be better if he could reconcile with everyone for the benefit of the people, so we can continue working for the country," she said.

However, she said this does not mean Marcos would ignore the law.
