AMRSP SANCTUARY FUND HITS THE MILLION MARK : KIKO CALLS
FOR CONTINUED SUPPORT

Senate Majority Leader and Independent senator Kiko Pangilinan today lauded the outpouring support for the AMRSP Sanctuary Fund for NBN ZTE witness Jun Lozada and other future whistleblowers. As of today, Feb22, the fund reached P1,007,537.75.

"The strong showing of the Sanctuary Fund speaks of our people's thirst for truth. We are getting support from various sectors of society and the fund has snowballed faster than we expected. This is our way of saying they won't take this issue sitting down, "Kiko, who first suggested the creation of a fund to support whistleblowers' legal defense and protection in the Senate Blue Ribbon hearing, said.

"We cannot be mere spectators on this issue, and we can't let intimidation and fear get in the way of transparency and accountability in governance. We are consolidating our efforts to protect the truth," Kiko added.

"Now more than ever is there a need to raise vigilance among our people. We cannot be apathetic about what's happening anymore. We do not want to wake up one day under the shackles of a tyranny," Kiko ended.

Donations to the AMRSP Fund may be deposited directly to Account name AMRSP Special Funds MBTC 3259 07445 3.
