MRRD-NECC chairman Gene Mamondiong said corruption must be stopped from the smallest government unit to national government agencies. Undersecretary John Castriciones of the Department of the Interior and Local Government said the public should support the President’s initiatives and advocacies, particularly the campaign against illegal drugs and corruption. The group, which claims to have convinced Duterte to run for President, launched the ‘People’s Support on Duterte’s War Against Illegal Drugs, Corruption, Criminality and Poverty’. Participants lighted candles and listened to the stories and testimonies of victims of illegal drugs. Castriciones earlier said the vigil does not aim to counter the 31st anniversary celebration of the EDSA Revolution.
