LEYTE 1st District Representative Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez on Sunday expressed confidence that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr.’s upcoming State of the Nation Address (SONA) will reaffirm the administration’s commitment to inclusive growth and responsive governance.
“As President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. prepares to deliver his fourth State of the Nation Address, I am proud of the gains he has made under his steady and compassionate leadership,” Rep. Romualdez, who served as Speaker of the 19th Congress, said.
“From bold economic recovery initiatives to decisive investments in agriculture, infrastructure, education, and digital innovation, the President has shown that strong governance can uplift lives and restore confidence in our nation’s future,” Rep. Romualdez, a lawyer from the University of the Philippines (UP) and Philippine Constitution Association (Philconsa) president, added.
Rep. Romualdez, Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD) president, said the upcoming SONA provides an opportunity to further strengthen the country’s progress while addressing urgent public concerns.
“But the work is far from over. The Filipino people continue to face challenges—from rising costs of basic goods to the need for better healthcare, stable jobs, and improved access to education and social services,” Rep. Romualdez said.
According to Rep. Romualdez, this year’s SONA “is a chance to build on what we’ve achieved and set a clear, compassionate, and forward-looking agenda that speaks to the real needs of our people.”
He added that the House of Representatives remains fully committed to supporting the President’s priorities through legislation that delivers meaningful results.
“We in the House of Representatives stand firmly behind the President’s vision. We are ready to translate his priorities into action by passing laws that will ease the burden on Filipino families, strengthen our economy, and ensure that no one is left behind in the journey toward a truly inclusive and secure future,” Rep. Romualdez said
