This was the central question posed at todayโ€™s Kapihan sa Manila Prince Hotel as former Finance Secretary and current Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Monetary Board Member Benjamin โ€œBenโ€ Diokno called for tougher safeguards to ensure transparency and accountability in the national budget and protect it from corruption and misuse.

Warning that corruption in public spending directly robs citizens of essential services, Diokno said: โ€œEvery peso lost to corruption is a peso stolen from the Filipino people. When funds meant for classrooms, hospitals, and roads are wasted, it is the poor who suffer the most.โ€ (photo by Mark Balmore | MB)

IN TODAY'S Kapihan sa Manila Hotel, we were honored to hear from the President and CEO of the National Power Corporation, Pres. Fernando Martin "Nani" Roxas, who reiterated NAPOCOR's commitment to finding sustainable and affordable energy solutions for all Filipinos. He called for collaborative efforts among the government, private sector, and communities to overcome challenges in the power sector and to build a more resilient and electrified nation.

We also heard from Atty. Chris Bendijo, Chief of Staff and Spokesperson of the Office of Civil Defense, who highlighted ongoing efforts to strengthen the country's disaster resilience. He emphasized that preparedness is a shared responsibility and specifically addressed concerns about structural integrity in the face of seismic events and extreme weather. โ€œWe have achieved a certain level of preparedness regardless of the season,โ€ he stated.
