MANILA, Philippines – “Your service in this Chamber will not be forgotten. Hindi man kayo nabigyan muling panibagong termino, tandaan ninyo: you were part of something bigger than any one election.”
Sa kanyang talumpati sa muling pagbubukas ng sesyon ng Kamara matapos ang election break, sinabi ni House Martin Romualdez na saludo sya sa mga kongresista hindi man ito nanalo sa nakaraang eleksyon.
“You helped pass laws. You shaped debate. You served your districts with passion and integrity. You gave your all – and the Filipino people saw it. Your legacy is now woven into the fabric of this Congress. At kahit wala na kayo rito sa susunod na panahon, mananatili kayong bahagi ng tagumpay ng 19th Congress,” pahayag ni Romualdez.
Binati rin ni Romualdez ang mga magiging bagong miyembro ng Kamara.
“To those who prevailed — congratulations. The people have placed their trust in you once again. Carry that trust with honor, humility, and courage. Use your renewed mandate to fight even harder for their needs, for their hopes, and for a future where no Filipino is left behind,” ani Romualdez.
Ipinagmalaki din ni Romualdez ang mga nagawa ng Kamara sa ilalim ng 19th Congress.
“Let me say this with pride: This House of the People delivered,” giit ni Romualdez.
Hindi lamang umano naipasa ng Kamara ang mga mahahalagang panukala bagkus marami rin na natugunang problema partikular ang paglaban sa smuggling.
“We cracked down on smugglers and hoarders who make basic goods unaffordable for ordinary families,” giit ni Romualdez.
Sinabi pa ni Romualdez na pagtugon sa totoong problema ang ginawa ng Kamara sa ilalim ng 19th Congress at hindio lamang talumpati o slogan bagkus ay tunay na pagbabago. Gail Mendoza
