UMAPELA si Senior Deputy Speaker at Pampanga 3rd District Rep. Aurelio “Dong” Gonzales Jr. kay Sen. Imee Marcos na suportahan na lamang ang pagsang-ayon ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na amyendahan ang partikular na economic provisions ng Saligang Batas para sa kabuhayan ng mga Pilipino.
“A rising tide lifts all boats, so to speak,” ang malumanay na paalala pa ng isa sa top officials ng Kamara sa lady senator.
“Kung ako si Senator – kapatid pa naman si Sen. Imee, tutulungan ko [ang PBBM admin] kasi the success of his brother is the success of our country and this only the economic provisions and there is no political. So iyon po ang pwede kong masabi. We will follow the President [on amending the restrictive economic provisions of the Constitution],” pagbibigay-diin pa ni Gonzales.
Ayon sa Pampanga lawmaker, ang mga polisiyang itinakda ni Presidente Marcos ay naglalayong maiangat ang estado ng buhay ng lahat ng 114 million Filipinos, at hindi ng iilan lamang.
“We’re all on the same boat or cruise ship called M/S Philippines. Why can’t she just help her brother succeed?” Gonzales asked. “President BBM is the duly-elected President of the Republic with a resounding 31 million votes – the highest in history. That’s nearly half of the country’s voting population of 67 million,” paalala pa ni Gonzales.
“If I were a senator, I would listen to the President because this (economic amendments to the Constitution) is our (Congress’) Valentine’s gift to him; this is for the good of the country, and only for the economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution and that is very, very clear in Senate Resolution of Both Houses 6,” pahabol ng kongresista.
