Malacañang is expecting investor confidence to rise as the government steps up efforts to address corruption and the misuse of public funds.

Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said investors are taking notice of the administration’s moves to clean up corruption, including holding those involved in flood control anomalies accountable.

Firm action against corruption not only reassures investors but also strengthens public trust in President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and the government, according to her.

She added that the President has directed all government agencies to uphold the highest standards of integrity.

“Binanggit na natin ang ayaw ng Pangulo na maisyu ang ibang mga ahensiya sa korapsyon, dapat lamang sila ay magsumikap at tumupad sa kanilang tungkulin at tuparin ang batas,” said Castro.IMT
