IPINAALALA ni Senior Deputy Speaker at Pampanga 3rd District Rep. Aurelio “Dong” Gonzales Jr. kay Sen. Imee Marcos na ang tagumpay ng administrasyon ng kanyang kapatid na si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ay tagumpay din ng sambayanang Pilipino.

Ginawa ni Gonzales ang pahayag kasabay ng kanyang paghimok kay Sen. Marcos na suportahan ang Pangulo, na nagpahayag ng pag-sang-ayon sa pag-amyenda sa economic provision ng Konstitusyon.

“Kung ako si Senator – kapatid pa naman si Sen. Imee, tutulungan ko [ang PBBM admin] kasi the success of his brother is the success of our country and this only the economic provisions and there is no political. So iyon po ang puwede kong masabi. We will follow the President [on amending the restrictive economic provisions of the Constitution],” ayon kay Senior Deputy Speaker at Pampanga 3rd District Rep. Aurelio “Dong” Gonzales Jr. sa ginanap na pulong pambalitaan noong Miyerkules.

Sa isa pang panayam, sinabi ni Gonzales: “The policies set out by the President are aimed at improving the lives of all 114 million Filipinos, and not just a few. As the idiomatic expression goes: A rising tide lifts all boats.”

“We’re all on the same boat or cruise ship called M/S Philippines. Why can’t she just help her brother succeed?” Gonzales asked. “President BBM is the duly-elected President of the Republic with a resounding 31 million votes – the highest in history.”

“That’s nearly half of the country’s voting population of 67 million,” ayon pa sa mambabatas.

“If I were a senator, I would listen to the President because this (economic amendments to the Constitution) is our (Congress’) Valentine’s gift to him; this is for the good of the country, and only for the economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution and that is very, very clear in Senate Resolution of Both Houses 6,” giit pa ni Gonzales.
