IMBES na mamulitika, hinikayat ni House Majority Leader at Zamboanga City 2nd District Rep. Manuel Jose “Mannix” Dalipe si 1st District Rep. Khymer Adan Olaso na ipaliwanag ang kawalan niya ng record umano sa mga residente ng Lungsod ng Zamboanga.

“Olaso is desperately trying to play the victim because he knows he has nothing to show to the voters. He has no significant achievements, no major projects, and no real impact as a legislator. His failure to fight for his district’s needs is his own doing, and he should stop misleading the people with lies,” ayon kay Dalipe.

Sinabi ni Dalipe na ang hindi magandang performance ni Olaso sa Kongreso ang tunay na dahilan kung bakit bigo siyang makakuha ng proyekto at programa para sa kanyang distrito at hindi dahil sa pamumulitika gaya ng kanyang paratang.

“This is not about politics. This is about competence, leadership, and hard work—all of which Olaso has failed to demonstrate as a House member. Instead of blaming others for his failures, he should look at his own poor track record. His constituents deserve better than excuses and baseless allegations,” ani Dalipe.

Sinabi ni Dalipe na hindi sumasali umano si Olaso sa mga mahahalagang deliberasyon ng Kamara partikular ang pagtalakay sa pambansang pondo, kung saan inilalaban ng mga kinatawan ang pangangailangan ng kanilang distrito.

“The budget process is open and transparent. Lawmakers who actively engage, participate in hearings, and push for their district’s needs are able to secure funding for vital projects. Unfortunately, Olaso has been missing in action and became obsessed in foreign travels. How can he expect results when he does not even put in the effort?” tanong ni Dalipe.

Dagdag pa niya na patutunayan umano ng tala ng Kamara ang kawalan ng partisipasyon ni Olaso sa mga mahahalagang diskusyon lalo na noong tinatalakay ang pambansang pondo.

Hindi aniya tulad ng mga masisipag na mambabatas na walang kapagurang isinusulong ang kanilang mga distrito at nakikipagugnayan sa ahensya ng pamahalaan. Aniya, hindi naramdaman ang presensya ni Olaso at walang naiambag diumano sa legislative process at benepisyo ng kaniyang mga kababayan.

“His voters should ask him: what has he actually done in Congress? What bills has he authored or sponsored that made an impact or even became law? What projects has he worked hard to bring to Zamboanga City’s First District? The answer is close to nothing—and now he is trying to blame others for his own failures,” diin ni Dalipe.

Pinasinungalingan din ni Dalipe ang akusasyon ni Olaso na binawian siya ng government dahil bawat programa ay may mahigpit na panuntunang ipinapatupad ng mga ahensya at binibigyan ng pondo batay sa malinaw na imlementasyon ng mga mekanismo at hindi sa koneksyong politikal.

“He is just making excuses. His tirades against the Marcos administration is an insult to the Heads of Agencies. Government assistance and infrastructure projects are allocated to regions, provinces, and cities based on need, feasibility, and proper submission of proposals. If he cannot show anything for his time in Congress, he has only himself to blame,” ani Dalipe.

Hinikayat pa ni Dalipe si Olaso na mangampanya batay sa isyu, gawa at kongkretong plano, kaysa umano manisi at mag-akusa.

“Zamboanga City deserves a leader who works hard, delivers results, and puts the people first—not someone who disappears during important deliberations and then complains when there are no projects to show,” wika ni Dalipe.

Kumpiyansa si Dalipe na makikita ng mga botante ang pagiging desperado umano ni Olaso at pipili ng tama sa eleksyon batay sa gawa at hindi ingay politika.

“People can see who actually works and who just makes excuses. Instead of whining, Olaso should explain to the people why he has failed them as their congressman,” pagtatapos ni Dalipe.
