During his speech at the Gonzaga People’s Gymnasium, Marcos pledged to make sure that public funds will be used to support programs that uplift the lives of Filipinos.

“We will ensure that there will be no repeat of what you are seeing. We assure you that every centavo of your money...will go to things that will improve the lives of our countrymen, make the lives of your families comfortable and to achieve the new Philippines we are working on,” the President said in Filipino.
