SIDEBAR: Legacion defies P150-M bribe, calls for reform
HOURS before submitting his certificate of candidacy last Tuesday, Mayor Nelson Legacion addressed a crowd of over a thousand supporters and political allies at City Hall, urging them to rally behind his bid for the 3rd district’s congressional seat.
His speech centered on a challenge: “If it is not us, then who? If it is not me, then who, and if it is not now, then when?”
Legacion’s query aimed to inspire urgency among the assembly, encouraging them to reject the old tactics of traditional politicians who use money and undue influence to win elections.
He emphasized the need for change, calling on his supporters to join him in ending these corrupt practices.
During his speech, Legacion revealed that in the days leading up to his candidacy, several individuals attempted to locate him, hoping to dissuade him from running. When they failed to reach him, they approached his wife, Atty. Marion Eloisa Legacion, at her law office, presenting their plan to convince the mayor to abandon his political ambitions.
In a bold disclosure, Legacion informed the crowd that these individuals were prepared to bribe him to the tune of P150 million to drop his candidacy. Despite their efforts, he remained resolute, refusing to yield to their “vicious plan.”
“The things I am sharing with you are real, though the concerned individuals will surely deny it to avoid public shame,” he said. Nevertheless, Legacion affirmed that under his leadership, the misuse of money to manipulate political outcomes would not be tolerated. He vowed to fight any attempts to exploit financial power in politics.
His revelations were met with resounding applause from the crowd, as they expressed their support for his stand against political corruption.
