INENDORSO na rin ni House Speaker Lord Alan Velasco si House Majority Leader at Leyte 1st Dist. Rep. Martin G. Romualdez bilang kapalit niya sa ilalim ng papasok pa lamang na 19th Congress.

Ipinahayag ni Velasco ang kaniyang pagsuporta para kay Romualdez bilang susunod na House Speaker sa gitna ng lumalaki at lumolobong suporta ng mayorya ng mga kongresista para kay Romualdez.

“I believe that his election as Speaker of the 19th Congress will ensure that the legislative agenda of the incoming administration will be pursued and completed. Majority Leader Romualdez has my support and friendship,” sabi ni Velasco.

Pinasalamatan din ng House Speaker si Romualdez dahil sa napakahusay na pamamalakad nito bilang House Majority Leader sa ilalim ng 19th Congress.

“I would like to sincerely thank Majority Leader Martin Romualdez for being our steady partner and ally in the 18th Congress. His strong leadership and support as our Majority Leader was crucial to the passage of relevant and timely pandemic-response measures and the approval of important and key laws that will have immense impact to stir and sustain our economic growth and development as we continue to navigate to new normal. Under his watch, the House was able to carry on and carry out its mandate despite physical limitations due to the pandemic with the passage of priority legislative measures of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte,” sabi pa ni Velasco.

“I am grateful for your support. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Speaker Velasco,” sabi naman ni Romualdez patungkol kay Velasco.
