Poe vows to jail more corrupt leaders

Poll frontrunner Senator Grace Poe showed a tougher side during the second presidential debate held in Cebu City on Sunday, saying that if she wins the presidency, she would open more jails where she would detain corrupt leaders.

In her closing statement, Poe said that any member of her family will not engage in any dealings with the government

“Dadamihan ko ang mga preso kung saan ang mga tiwali sa gobyerno ay ilalagay ko mismo doon—kaaway man o kaalyado,” Poe said.

(I will build more jails where corrupt government officials will be detained—whether they are my enemies or allies.)
