Drilon reiterated that the country’s next leader should have integrity, meaning he or she should have no record or allegation of corruption.

“Importante po sa akin ang integrity. Kaya po sa pagdating ng 2016 ay dapat po paigtingin ng ating pamahalaan ang kampanya para sa voter’s education, para po sa ating mga kababayan, lalo na sa mga kabataan o ‘yung mga unang beses na boboto,” he said.
