KAHANGA-HANGA. Ganito ang paglalarawan ng tagapagsalita ng partidong Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) sa anila’y liderato ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez sa Kamara.
Ayon kay Quezon 1st District Rep. Mark Enverga, tagapagsalita ng NPC, hindi matatawaran ang ambag ni Romualdez para maisakatuparan ang reporma ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sa kapakanan ng mga magsasaka, sapat at abot-kayang supply ng pagkain at pundasyon para sa isang maunlad at inklusibong Bagong Pilipinas.
“Speaker Romualdez’s leadership is the cornerstone of the House’s historic achievements. His ability to inspire unity and focus on results has made the 19th Congress a key partner of President Marcos in delivering the Bagong Pilipinas vision,” wika ni Enverga na tumatayong chairman ng House Committee on Agriculture and Food.
Isa sa mga tinukoy ni Enverga ang pagsasabatas ng Republic Act 12022 (Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act) na nagpapataw ng pinakamabigat na parusa sa mga kasong economic sabotage sa agricultural smuggling, hoarding, profiteering, at operasyon ng kartel.
“This law is a game-changer for our farmers and all Filipinos who rely on affordable food. It dismantles the decades-long control of cartels and manipulators in the supply chain,” saad pa ng kongresista.
“Through Speaker Romualdez’s decisive leadership, we acted swiftly to protect our farmers, uphold market integrity, and secure our nation’s food supply,” aniya pa.
Tinukoy din ni Enverga ang positibong epekto ng RA 12078, na nag-aamyenda sa Rice Tariffication Law, upang palawigin ang Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund (RCEF) hanggang 2031 at itaas sa P30 bilyon ang taunang alokasyon na pantulong sa mga magsasaka mula P10 bilyon.
“This law demonstrates our commitment to empowering rice farmers. Tripling RCEF funding equips them with the tools and resources to compete globally while ensuring rice availability for every household,” paliwanag ng House panel chair.
“This balanced approach, championed under Speaker Romualdez’s guidance, addresses food security concerns while protecting local farmers,” giit pa niya.
Sa pamamagitan ni Enverga ay pinuri rin ng NPC si Romualdez sa pangunguna sa supermajority coalition ng Kamara, na kinabibilangan ng naturang political party, upang ipasa ang 61 sa 64 na prayoridad na panukala na tinukoy ni Pangulong Marcos at ng Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC).
“Speaker Romualdez has set an unprecedented standard for legislative productivity, guiding the House to enact laws that transform lives, foster economic recovery, and drive national development. His leadership proves how Congress can drive real change,” dagdag ni Enverga.
“Speaker Romualdez’s commitment to good governance guarantees that the laws we pass are implemented effectively and benefit those who need them the most,” dugtong pa niya.
Samantala, sa layuning pagsulong ng matatag na ekonomiya ng bansa, nanawagan si Enverga na ipagpatuloy ang pagtutulungan upang mapakinabangan nang husto ang mga magagandang epekto.
“Speaker Romualdez has shown us what true leadership can achieve. Together, we must build on this momentum to make agriculture a pillar of national progress. Under his guidance, we will continue to champion the welfare of Filipino farmers and fisherfolk for a brighter future,” pagtatapos ng Quezon province solon. (Romeo Allan Butuyan II)
