“THE numbers simply do not support that claim,”ayon kay House Committee on Overseas Workers Affairs Chairman Jude Acidre (TINGOG partylist) kasabay ng patutsada kay Alyansa Campaign Manager at Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco.
Partikular na kinastigo ni Acidre ang pahayag ni Tiangco na nagsabing epekto ng minadaling impeachment kay Vice President Sara Duterte ang pagkatalo ng anim na pambato ng administrasyon sa idinaos na senatorial election.
Giit ni Acidre, sa 115 na kongresista, na mula sa iba’t-ibang distrito at lumagda sa impeachment complaint laban sa bise presidente, 100 nanalo sa kani-kanilang distrito — katumbas ng 86.96% nationwide winning rate.
“Even in Mindanao, where critics predicted backlash, 36 out of 44 pro-impeachment lawmakers will return to Congress—an impressive 81.81% win rate,” ayon pa sa TINGOG partylist solon.
“Just to set the record straight, these results dismantle the narrative that the impeachment was a political liability. What we’re seeing is a public that values courage over complicity. The people have drawn the line—and they stood with us.”
“With due respect to Rep. Tiangco, the numbers simply do not support that claim. The defeat of a few candidates cannot be pinned on a constitutional process that the people clearly understood—and endorsed,” pasaring ni Acidre.
Sabi pa ng ranking House official, ang resulta ng nakaraang halalan ay nagpatibay sa liderato ni Speaker Martin Romualdez, na kalmado, may paninindigan at solidong pagkakaisa na paggabay sa Kamara sa isa sa pinakamahalaga at kritikal na panahon partikular sa paggulong ng impeachment process.
“The House acted as it should—as an independent, co-equal branch committed to the rule of law. Speaker Romualdez provided steady leadership throughout. If anything, the results show that his brand of principled politics resonates across the nation,” mariing pahayag pa Acidre.
Panawagan niya sa mga kapwa mambabatas, isantabi ang turuan o paninisi at bagkus ay pagtuunan ang mga mas mahahalagang bagay, kabilang ang pagpapabuti sa buhay ng bawat mamamayan sa ilalim ng Bagong Pilipinas agenda ng kasalukuyang administrasyon.
“This is no time for finger-pointing. We were elected not to protect careers, but to uphold our duty. The people have spoken. And they have spoken in favor of accountability,” pagtatapos ni Acidre. (ROMEO ALLAN BUTUYAN II)
