Netizens, personalities criticize Sen. Manny Pacquiao’s promise to build mega prisons end corruption cases in 6 months

Presidential aspirant Senator Manny Pacquiao promised that if he wins president, he will build ‘mega prisons’ for corrupt officials as well as speedy resolutions on graft cases but was met with criticisms, Friday, November 5.

“Magpapatayo ako ng ‘MP’ o mega prison kasi sa dami ng mga corrupt baka hindi sila magkasya sa ordinaryong kulungan. Dapat three to six months masentensyahan na agad,” he said in a press statement.

Many opposed his promise over Twitter, pointing that it is the Sandiganbayan’s and the Ombudsman’s job to investigate corrupt officials.

The mandate of the Sandiganbayan is to probe and decide criminal and civil cases against government officials and employees accused of graft and corruption, and other offenses.

The Ombudsman, on the other hand, deals with complaints filed in any form or manner against officers or employees of the Government and its branches.

A Netizen even ridiculed Pacquiao, who is a senator and yet does not know the duties of the Sandiganbayan.

Meanwhile, a Twitter personality informed Pacquiao of the government branch but also threw some shade at Atty. Samuel Martires, the one who has kept the Statement, Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) of Pres. Rodrigo Duterte private.

Some even pointed that Pacquiao’s line was similar to Pres. Duterte when he promised to end drugs within three to six months into his term.

Pacquiao’s statement came after he visited Parañanque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez to “discuss the importance of local governments” as part of his push for federalism.
