KOMPRe to VP Binay: Prove your innocence, face the Senate

KOMPRe (Koalisyon ng Mamamayan para sa Reporma) on Wednesday challenged Vice President Jejomar Binay to “walk the talk” and attend the Senate blue ribbon committee hearing on September 25 and prove his innocence.

The Senate Blue Ribbon sub-committee headed by Senator Aquilino Pimentel III invited Vice President Binay to attend the public hearing on Thursday, 25 September, “to inform the committee about what you know regarding the subject matter under inquiry. We look forward to your Honor’s presence during the said hearing.”

“We exhort the Vice President to prove his innocence by accepting the invitation of the Senate blue ribbon committee and attend the hearing,” said KOMPRe lead convener Karina Constantino-David.

#KOMPRe accepts PNoy's challenge

AQUINO administration allies from the Senate, the Lower House, local government units (LGUs), political associations, business groups and civil society organizations represented by KOMPRe (Koalisyon ng Mamamayan Para sa Reporma) were invited to attend a gathering in Malacanang Friday morning to listen to the President exhort his allies into action.

In response to the call to action by President Noynoy Aquino for the people to support and communicate the reforms made under his administration, KOMPRe not only accepted the challenge but committed to defending and pushing for more reforms before the end of his administration.

“We have already been communicating reforms made under this administration. In fact, a majority of our members are involved in “Ipadama ang Reporma”, a grassroots program under which we explain to the people how to access government services made available precisely because of his good governance, ” said KOMPRe lead convenor Karina Constantino-David after the President’s speech.

KOMPRe supports the Anti-Dynasty Bill

EXPECT KOMPRe (Koalisyon ng Mamamayan Para sa Reporma) to push for key political and fiscal reforms and launch chapters in key cities and provinces in the coming days. In the coalition's successful launch last week at the Loyola campus of Ateneo de Manila University, it affirmed the key reforms already undertaken by the PNoy administration such as the passage of the RH Law, peace with the MILF and the arrest of alleged plunderers of PDAF.

The conference highlighted the need to intensify public vigilance and support for pending reforms in the last two years of this administration, especially given the vicious attacks against the government of counter-reform groups that are already being affected by reforms.

KOMPRe will support the move to legislate the Anti-Dynasty Bill and Budget reform laws, twin reforms that the coalition believes are attainable in the last two years of the Aquino administration.
