Still others promised that there will be no overspending of public funds for personal junkets, vacations and entertainment. Almost all of them promised that they will not fall to commit the sins of the traditional politicians that is graft and corruption whether it is of blatant or the hidden variety. All of them promised that there will be accountability in their governance.
