MANILA, Philippines — Two political science professors criticized Sen. Rodante Marcoleta’s statement that the truth about corruption in the country’s controversial flood control projects had also been “imprisoned” since his arrest on plunder charges.
“No senator or government official or faction in government has the monopoly over the truth,” Maria Ela Atienza, a professor at the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman, told the Inquirer.
A day after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. delivered his fifth State of the Nation Address, Marcoleta expressed dismay over his continued detention, saying that not only he but also the Filipino people had been deprived of freedom.
