Ben&Ben's Paolo, Miguel say fight vs corruption far from over
MANILA, Philippines — Amid the ongoing unrest in the country, Ben&Ben frontmen Paolo and Miguel Benjamin Guico said they believe the fight against corruption is not over yet.
The two award-winning OPM artists said they would continue to stand in solidarity with the Filipino people's call to hold accountable those involved in looting the public treasury.
In an interview with Rico Hizon on ANC's "Beyond the Exchange," Paolo said those responsible for widespread corruption in the country should be held accountable, punished and imprisoned.
“Filipino people have to speak out. No one has been jailed from among those who should be jailed. And therefore, the fight is not over yet in terms of holding those accountable and demanding for justice,” he said.
“There was a big progress in really coming together to voice out and people really waking up… visible, tangible, measurable progress. These problems are probably, if not older, as old as our institutions themselves… it’s more of a marathon than a sprint,” Miguel added.
To those who question their political color — having previously supported the presidential candidacy of Leni Robredo — Paolo and Miguel have a message.
“We cannot please everyone. Stand up for what you believe in while respecting other perspectives,” Paolo said.
