Lakas-CMD, NUP, NPC buong-suporta pa rin kay Romualdez

MANILA, Philippines – Buo pa rin ang suporta ng mga partidong Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats, National Unity Party (NUP) at Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) para kay Speaker Martin Romualdez kasunod ng mga usap-usapan ng planong pagpapatalsik sa kanya.

Sa pahayag, sinabi ni Lakas-CMD co-chairperson Senator Ramon Bong Revilla Jr. na ang kanilang partido na maituturing na most dominant political party, ay patuloy na nagkakaisa at suportado si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa ilalim ng pangunguna ni Romualdez.

Si Romualdez ang siyang pangulo ng Lakas-CMD.

“Through the darkest of storms and greatest of tribulations, we have proven time and again that our unity will never be torn down,” ani Revilla.

Sa hiwalay na pahayag, sinabi rin ng NUP na suportado nila ang koalisyon na binuo ni Romualdez, at nangako itong ipagpapatuloy ang pakikipagtulungan sa Speaker.

“We are witness on how Speaker Romualdez has steered the House in legislating key reform measures included in the 8-Point Socio-Economic Agenda of the Marcos administration,” ani NUP chairperson Ronaldo Puno.

Samantala, sinabi naman ni dating Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, na namumuno sa NPC, na “remain allied with the President and the leadership of Speaker Martin.”

Matatandaan na kamakailan ay umugong ang balitang pinaplano ni Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo na patalsikin si Romualdez bilang House Speaker.

Kagyat naman itong itinanggi ng dating Pangulo.

“When I learned that there were reports that I was suspected of plotting a ‘coup’ against Speaker Romualdez, I decided I must speak out to clarify my political position,” ani Arroyo.

“Indeed, some of my actions may have been misconstrued, such as my recent trip with a delegation of Congressmen to Korea for some official meetings,” dagdag niya. RNT/JGC
