[K]ung sino man ang komokontra sa confidential funds ay kumokontra sa kapayapaan. Kung sino ang kumokontra sa kapayapaan ay kalaban ng bayan.
Sara Duterte
Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte, in a speech during the 122nd Police Service Anniversary of the Philippine National Police Regional Office 13 in Butuan City, said whoever contradicts confidential funds is against peace.
The truth is, people oppose confidential funds because they demand transparency from government officials.
We will keep on hearing abominable statements like this as long as we continue to elect candidates who say honesty is not a requirement to be a government official.
