HULI man daw at magaling, maihahabol pa rin, ayon kay House Speaker Martin Romualdez kasabay ng pagkilala sa hanay ng mga tinaguriang haligi ng tahanan sa taunang pagdiriwang ng Father’s Day.
Para kay Romualdez, maihahambing ang mga ama bilang tahimik na bayani na araw-araw bumabangon para titakin ang maginhawang pamumuhay at magandang kinabukasan ang mga anak.
Sa isang mensahe, binigyang-pugay din ni Romualdez ang mahalagang papel na ginagampanan ng mga ama bilang haligi ng pamilya at puso ng komunidad.
“This Father’s Day, I honor the quiet strength and everyday heroism of Filipino fathers. These are the men who rise each morning with a single goal in mind: to build a better life for their children,” wika ng House Speaker.
“As a father, I know the deep responsibility that comes with that role. I understand the long days, the sleepless nights, and the unwavering hope we carry for our families. I have felt the joy of small moments with my children and the worry that comes with every challenge they face,” dugtong ni Romualdez.
Nagbalik-tanaw naman si Romualdez sa naging impluwensya ng kanyang amang patuloy na nagsisilbing gabay sa kanyang paglilingkod sa bayan.
“I also remember my own father, whose values of humility, service, and love for country shaped the man I am today. His guidance continues to inspire me in my work for the Filipino people,” saad ng pinuno ng Kamara de Representantes.
“Fatherhood, after all, is not just about providing. It is about building a future our children can stand on with pride,” dagdag pa niya.
Ipinaabot din ni Speaker Romualdez ang taos-pusong pasasalamat sa lahat ng ama—maging nasa bansa o nagtatrabaho sa ibayong dagat—para sa kanilang walang sawang sakripisyo at pagmamahal.
“To all Filipino fathers, whether here at home or working far from your loved ones, whether leading from the front or standing quietly in support—you are the foundation of our families and the heart of our communities,” aniya.
“Thank you for your sacrifices. Thank you for your strength. Thank you for your love. Happy Father’s Day!” (ROMEO ALLAN BUTUYAN II)
