Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines president Archbishop Angel Lagdameo said it’s about time to liberate the country that has long been ‘captive’ to government corruption.
Lagdameo said the “confession” recently made by Lozada and ousted House speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. may save people from being “hostage to scandalous and shady government deals.”
“Only the truth, not lies and deceits, will set our country free. This truth challenges us now to communal action,” he said.

I have yet to hear the statement or direction of the President of the Sangguniang Laiko ng Pilipinas on this issue. I cannot speak for LAIKO, but I support the call of the bishops for "communal action". Corruption is one of the main causes of poverty in the Philippines. If we really want to be with the poor, or help the poor, we have to join the fight against corruption.
