In his speech at the Stop Crimes against Women Summit 2019, which was organized by the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) and the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC), Jimenez said these politikos were greedy and have the urge to enrich themselves.
“Huwag mong iboboto yung mga corrupt, ‘yung may mga kaso. Naka-pending yan sa Sandiganbayan,” he said.
Jimenez, the founding chair of VACC, said corruption breeds poverty.
“Ang aking opisina po ay naka-focus sa isang halimaw ng ating society, ito’y halimaw ng pagnanakaw sa pera ng bayan. Corruption breeds poverty,” he said.
Jimenez said corrupt politicians can get away with crimes because they have the money to hire top lawyers.
“They can get away with crime, even murder,” he said.
Jimenez also cited the role of women and the youth in speaking out against the injustices in society.
“The women of today, ang mga kabataan din, ay dapat lumabas na. You have to be outspoken. You have to be heard. We must continue to speak out against harassment, violence in our homes workplaces, in our social circles,” he said.
Jimenez said government alone cannot address corruption and injustices.
“It’s being addressed, but you see, sabi nga ni Presidente , we cannot do this alone. It’s the people, lalo na mga kababaihan,” he said.
