Manila, Philippines–The National Unity Party reaffirmed its commitment to the supermajority coalition in the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.
“We vow to continue working in close partnership with Speaker Romualdez, whose leadership and work ethic moved the legislative mill round the clock, producing an unprecedented number of priority bills passed on third and final reading in less than a year in office,” said Ronaldo Puno, chairman of the National Unity Party.
Puno acknowledged Romualdez’s leadership in a Friday statement and highlighted the House’s progress in passing key reform measures.
“We are witness to how Speaker Romualdez has steered the House in legislating key reform measures included in the 8-Point Socio-Economic Agenda of the Marcos administration,” Puno commented.
Former Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto, the National People’s Coalition chairman, also expressed their continued alliance with Romualdez.
“We remain allied with the President and the leadership of Speaker Martin,” Sotto said.
Deputy Speaker Kristine Singson and Representative Michael John ‘Jack’ Duavit said they recognized the achievements made by the government in pandemic recovery and economic progress.
“We continue and remain committed to be part of Speaker Romualdez’s supermajority coalition in the House of Representatives to better the Philippines’ standing on poverty alleviation and job generation,” Singson and Duavit said in a joint statement.
