PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino 3rd pledged to dedicate his administration’s “last two minutes” to winning the fight against corruption and further improving the economy in the face of anticipated challenges and opponents who are determined to see his defeat.

In lining up government’s feats in 2013, Aquino’s New Year’s message also dealt on his continued campaign against misuse of public funds such as in the case of the controversial Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF).
