PINATUNAYAN umano ng resulta ng pinakahuling survey ng OCTA Research ang matatag at epektibong pamumuno ni Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez, ayon kina Senior Deputy Speaker David “Jay-Jay” Suarez ng Quezon at Deputy Speaker Janette Garin ng Iloilo.

Ayon sa OCTA, umangat ng tatlong puntos ang nationwide trust rating ni Speaker Romualdez sa 57 porsyento, habang tumaas ng apat na puntos ang kanyang performance rating sa 59 porsyento.

Si Speaker Romualdez ay isa lamang sa dalawang opisyal ng pamahalaan, kasama si Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., na nagtala ng pagtaas sa parehong pangunahing indicators.

“These numbers are not just statistical gains. They reflect how Speaker Romualdez’s leadership of the House of Representatives is being felt on the ground,” sabi ni Suarez.

“A four-point rise in performance and a three-point rise in trust, across all major regions and socioeconomic classes, is clear validation that the Speaker’s focus on transparency and responsible budgeting is resonating with Filipinos,” dagdag pa niya.

Sinabi ni Suarez na ang patuloy na pagsisikap ng Speaker na tiyaking maayos ang paggastos ng pondo ng bayan at naipapatupad nang walang korapsyon ang mga proyektong pang-imprastruktura ay hindi nakakalampas sa mata ng publiko.

“From Metro Manila to the Visayas, across ABC to E classes, the data show a public that is paying attention and responding to the Speaker’s results-oriented leadership,” aniya.

“You don’t earn these numbers with press releases. You earn them by doing the work,” diin ni Suarez.

Sinabi naman ni Deputy Speaker Garin, dating kalihim ng kalusugan, na pinakamataas ang trust rating ni Speaker Romualdez sa Visayas sa 66 porsyento, sinundan ng 62 porsyento sa iba pang bahagi ng Luzon at 59 porsyento sa Metro Manila.

“This is especially telling for us in the Visayas. People in our region have seen the Speaker’s support for programs that truly matter, including basic services, social protections and responsive legislation,” aniya.

“The 66 percent trust rating in the Visayas is not surprising. It reflects direct impact,” dagdag pa ni Garin.

Binigyang-diin din ni Garin na sa mga pinakamahihirap na Pilipino sa Class E, nagtala si Speaker Romualdez ng 61 porsyentong trust rating at 63 porsyentong performance rating.

“These are the voices we cannot afford to ignore. They are saying, loud and clear, that they trust the Speaker and they are satisfied with his work,” sabi ni Garin.

“That kind of confidence cannot be manufactured. It comes from delivering on promises,” diin pa niya.

Nangakong susuportahan nina Suarez at Garin ang legislative agenda ng Speaker, lalo na sa nalalapit na budget season, kung saan inaasahang bibigyang-prayoridad ang mga reporma sa procurement, social welfare, at regional development.

“The public’s support is not a trophy. It is a challenge. And under Speaker Romualdez’s guidance, we in the House intend to meet that challenge head-on,” sabi ni Suarez.
