DAVAO CITY\u2013The 16,500-strong members of Philippine Councilors\u2019 League (PCL) from 1,400 towns and cities in the country have signified support to the continuing campaign of the Duterte administration against corruption, crime and violence.<\/p>\n

Davao City Councilor Danilo Dayanghirang told reporters here on Monday during the Kapehan sa Dabaw that the PCL approved a resolution last week supporting the priorities and advocacies of President Rodrigo Duterte.<\/p>\n

Dayanghirang, who is the newly-elected PCL chairman of the board, said the league also passed a resolution supporting federalism, a form of government that the President has been advocating for years.<\/p>\n

\u201cPCL\u2019s support is vital in order to gain achievements in the programs and projects of the present administration,\u201d Dayanghirang said.<\/p>\n

PCL, he added, is “a big group that can influence political decisions of the national leadership and at the same time, can do changes through legislations.”<\/p>\n

He said the “PCL can also advocate and gather support to major programs and projects of the government.”<\/p>\n

\u201cPCL will rally behind President Duterte, his administration and its priority programs and projects,\u201d Dayanghirang reiterated.<\/p>\n

The newly-elected officers of PCL took their oath of office before Duterte on April 1 in Pasig City.<\/p>\n

Narvacan, Ilocos Sur Councilor Luis \u201cChavit\u201d Singson has been elected as the group’s president.<\/p>\n

During their oath-taking in Malacanang, President Duterte urged them to also help in the administration\u2019s campaign against graft and corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you really want to help improve this country and if you want us to rise a little bit of \u2018yung ano natin sa nakaraan (of our history), now is the time,\u201d the President said, emphasizing that it is always “zero tolerance” on graft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
