SA gitna ng bantang pabagsakin ang gobyerno at mainit na usapin sa pulitika, nagpahayag ng suporta ang Kamara kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. laban sa mga anila’y nais maghasik ng gulo sa bansa.
Sa isang Manifesto of Support kay Marcos na inihain ng mga kongresista sa pangunguna ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez, binigyang diin ang pagkakaisa ng mga mambabatas na ipagtanggol ang prinsipyo ng demokrasya at katatagan ng republika.
“Guided by the Philippine Constitution as the supreme law of the land, we, the Members of the House of Representatives of the Republic of the Philippines, reaffirm our unwavering commitment to defend the democratic institutions and sovereignty of our nation,” saad sa isang bahagi ng manifesto.
“The Philippine Constitution entrusts us with the solemn duty to protect the nation from threats – both internal and external – that seek to undermine our independence, security and democracy. Recognizing the significant challenges facing the President and his administration, we unite in declaring our firm support for the President and his vision for a Bagong Pilipinas.”
Kabilang sa mga lumagda sa manifesto sina Romualdez, Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Gonzales Jr., Majority Leader Mannix Dalipe, Agusan del Norte Rep. Joboy Aquino II, Secretary-General ng Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD); Camarines Sur Rep. LRay Villafuerte, Pangulo ng National Unity Party (NUP); Rizal Rep.

Marcos Jr., and the Honorable Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez in the face of serious and dangerous remarks and defiant acts that threaten the very foundation of democratic governance, rule of law, and public trust and integrity of government institutions.”
