Querubin brings Senate campaign to Lapu-Lapu City, renews call vs corruption

CEBU—Independent senatorial candidate Ariel Querubin campaigned in Lapu-Lapu City on Friday, sharing his experiences as a soldier and calling for an end to corruption.

Querubin, a retired Marine colonel and Medal of Valor awardee, reflected on his time in combat, expressing frustration over violence between fellow Filipinos.

“Every time mag-uwi ako ng bangkay ng mga tao ko, bangkay ng mga nakalaban namin—deep inside, yung galit ko, bakit hahantong tayo na kapwa Pilipino, nagpapatayan tayo. Yan yung ang tindi ng isinama ng loob ko,” Querubin said.

Querubin reiterated that he sees corruption as the root of conflict and poverty and stressed the need for reforms.

“Kung ang [puno't dulo ng] problema, korapsyon, wakasan natin yung korapsyon,” he added.

Querubin is running as an independent in the May 2025 midterm elections, campaigning on a platform centered on anti-corruption, public service reform, and national unity.
