NI ROMEO ALLAN BUTUYAN II
SA gitna ng mga panawagan ng kampo ni former President Rodrigo Duterte sa mga mamamayan para sumali sa protesta sa EDSA, nanindigan ng suporta ang Kamara sa administrasyon ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Sa pinagtibay na House Resolution 2092, nagpahayag ng solidong suporta ang mga miyembro ng Kamara sa administrasyong Marcos at pamumuno ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
Pagtitiyak ng mga kongresista, walang anumang epekto ang anila’y paninira ng mag-amang Duterte kay Marcos at Speaker Romualdez. Katunayan anila, nakatuon lamang sa trabahong kalakip ng mandato ang dalawang lider ng bansa.
Sina Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Gonzales Jr. at Majority Leader Mannix Dalipe ang tumayong sponsor ng HR 2092 — “Expressing the unwavering and unqualified support and solidarity of the House of Representatives to the leadership of His Excellency, President Ferdinand R. 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.”
Kabilang rin sa may-akda sina House Minority Leader Marcelino Libanan, at Reps. Yedda Marie K. Romualdez at Jude Acidre ng Tingog Partylist.
Sumuporta naman sa resolusyon ang mga kongresista mula sa iba’t ibang partido politikal kasama sina Deputy Speaker Jay-Jay Suarez ng Quezon na mula sa Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD); Rep. Albert Garcia (2nd District, Bataan) ng National Unity Party (NUP), Rep. Mark Enverga (1st District, Quezon) ng Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC), Rep. Robert Ace Barbers (2nd District, Surigao del Norte) mula sa Nacionalista Party (NP), Rep. Rosanna Ria Vergara (3rd District, Nueva Ecija) mula sa Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP), Rep. Erwin Tulfo ng ACT-CIS Partylist mula sa Partylist Coalition Foundation (PCFI), Deputy Majority Leader Rep. Jam Baronda (Lone District, Iloilo City) ng Lakas-CMD, Rep. Toby Tiangco (Lone District, Navotas City) ng Partido Navoteño, at Rep. Gabriel Bordado (3rd District, Camarines Sur) mula sa Liberal Party (LP).
“The importance of this resolution cannot be overstated. As members of this honorable and highly esteemed institution, it is our responsibility to uphold the dignity, honor and integrity of the House of Representatives,” sabi ni Gonzales.
“In doing so, we must also express our collective solidarity without leaders who stand at the forefront of defending our democratic institutions and the rule of law,” dugtong ni Gonzales.
Nagbigay ng hiwalay na sponsorship speech si Dalipe kung saan tinuligsa niya ang pagbabanta kay Pangulong Marcos, First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos at Speaker Romualdez.
Sinabi ni Gonzales na nagpapatuloy ang pamumuno ni Pangulong Marcos upang dalhin ang bansa tungo sa pag-unlad at katatagan.
“His vision for a strong and united Philippines is evident in his administration’s achievements. It is our duty as legislators to rally behind our President in defending the interests of the Filipino people and safeguarding the future of our democratic institutions.”
Ani Gonzales, ang pagbabanta ay hindi lamang laban sa Kamara kundi banat sa seguridad ng bansa at tiwala ng publiko sa gobyerno.
“These include actions that defy protocols, undermine accountability, and most alarmingly, threats to the very lives of our leaders – His Excellency, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., the First Lady, Mrs. Liza Araneta Marcos, and our beloved Speaker, Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez,” ani Gonzales ng hindi pinapangalanan si Vice President Sara Duterte na siyang nagpahayag ng banta.
Sinabi ng solon na nagpakita si Romualdez ng natatanging pamumuno at ipinagtanggol ang institusyon sa sinumang nagpapahina sa institusyon.
“His swift and decisive response to these serious threats is a testament to his commitment to upholding the principles of democratic governance and the rule of law.”
Sa ilalim umano ng pamumuno ni Romualdez nagkaisa ang mga miyembro ng Kamara para gampanan ang nakaatang na mandato.
“We have passed crucial legislation that supports the priorities of the administration and addresses the needs of our constituents. These successes show that, with a stalwart like Speaker Romualdez, this institution can withstand any obstacle and remain a pillar of democracy,” wika pa ni Gonzales.
Para naman kay Dalipe, ang Kamara ay nananatiling cornerstone ng demokrasya ng bansa.
“As we carry out our mandate and stand to uphold the Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines, we operate on established rules and procedures to ensure transparency, accountability, and order within our walls – and beyond,” sabi ni Dalipe.
“I take this opportunity to reiterate that this august chamber must be accorded the honor and dignity befitting its status as the House of the People. To disrespect this chamber is to disrespect the people that we represent. No public official, regardless of rank or position, should consider itself above and beyond the 100-million strong Filipino people by obstructing the lawful proceedings and orders of the House,” dagdag pa niya.
Ayon kay Dalipe, ang hindi pagsunod sa protocol, ang mga masasamang salitang binitiwan, at ang pagbabanta sa mga lider ng bansa ay isang pambabastos sa batas at sa demokratikong institusyon.
“I believe that we can do better. We must remember that our actions set the tone of public governance in the country. I applaud President Marcos and Speaker Romualdez for their patience, restraint, and ability to rise above the fray by blocking out the external noise and focusing on the work that needs to be done. I urge all of us to follow their example.”
Hinimok ni Dalipe ang kanyang mga kapwa mambabatas na ipagpatuloy ang pagtatrabaho sa kabila ng mga kinakaharap na hamon at magsama-sama upang maabot ang kanilang mga layunin.
