Talk of the Town: COA’s anticorruption mandate

Comments on “COA’s anticorruption mandate,” (Side Glances by Raul J. Palabrica, 9/4/26) via https://opinion.inquirer.net:

Failure to adequately fund and protect COA sends the wrong message to the public. It suggests that the fight against corruption is more rhetoric than reality.
