MAASIN CITY --  President Benigno Aquino III has found an ally in Cong. Roger Mercado regarding the intense campaign to rid any form of corruption in government.


“I support his stand,” Cong. Mercado, who is in Manila, told PIA by phone this morning, apparently referring to the battlecry popularized by President Aquino declaring, in effect, that there will be no poor people if there are no corrupt people.
