Rocco Nacino speaks out on transparency and accountability

• Rocco Nacino weighed in on the issue of government transparency through his social media posts
• He criticized the limited access of the public to ongoing investigations and highlighted the irony of selective disclosure
• The Kapuso actor also highlighted public frustration over corruption and uneven tax enforcement, echoing Bianca Gonzalez’s remarks
• He likewise urged systemic reforms and called for transparency in all budget hearings and public spending

Actor and naval reservist Rocco Nacino has joined the growing online discussion about government transparency and accountability, after sharing thought-provoking Instagram Stories that reflect his stance on truth and public service.

In one of his recent posts, Rocco reacted to a statement from @peso.weekly, which questioned the lack of transparency in certain government investigations. The post read:

“Transparency shouldn’t depend on who’s asking the questions.

If a foreign envoy can sit down with investigators, why can’t the Filipino public?

The ICI says ‘trust the process,’ but how can people trust what they can’t see? Filipinos just want the truth out in the open. Every closed-door meeting only fuels suspicion and that’s on them, not the public.

If they really serve the people, then let the people watch.”

In response, Rocco added his own commentary, highlighting the irony of limited public access to information.

“So I can just head on over to the ICI and set a meeting so they can disclose to me the progress of their investigation?” Rocco penned.

Just hours later, Rocco shared another post—this time featuring Bianca Gonzalez’s recent interview with veteran journalist Luchi Cruz-Valdes on Usapang Real with Luchi. In the clip, Bianca voiced her sentiments on corruption and taxpayers’ frustrations.

“Ang laki ng kaltas every month sa sweldo tapos may penalty kapag hindi ka nakapagbayad ng tax on time tapos hahabulin ka kung hindi ka pa rin makapagbayad ng kakarampot na tax ng iisang tao versus napaka-lax na paghahabol sa mga kung sino man yung kumuha ng millions, billions of tax,” the Kapamilya TV host aired.

Rocco echoed Bianca’s call for accountability, adding a strong message in support of systemic reform.
