PINURI ni Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez ang pagkilala ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) sa pinamumunuan nitong Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) bilang dominant majority party sa paparating na midterm elections.

“Lakas-CMD welcomes the Commission on Elections’ (Comelec) recognition of our party as the dominant majority party for the 2025 midterm elections. This is a significant moment for us—not just as a political organization, but as a team that has consistently worked to move the country forward,” ani Speaker Romualdez.

Bilang Pangulo ng Lakas-CMD, binigyang-diin ni Speaker Romualdez ang matagal nang kontribusyon ng partido sa pambansang kaunlaran, sa pagpapalakas ng ekonomiya, pagpapatibay ng pambansang seguridad, at pagtatayo ng mahahalagang imprastruktura. Dalawang miyembro ng Lakas-CMD ang naging Pangulo na ng bansa.

“Lakas-CMD has been here before. We have led, we have governed and we have delivered. Our party has produced two Presidents and played a major role in shaping policies that strengthened the economy, improved national security, and built critical infrastructure,” ani Speaker Romualdez, isang abogado mula sa University of the Philippines (UP).

“We have always believed that leadership is about producing real results, not just holding positions,” dagdag pa niya.

Binigyang-diin ng pinuno ng 306 miyembro ng Kamara de Representantes na ang pagiging dominanteng partido ng Lakas-CMD ay may kaakibat na responsibilidad na isulong ang Bagong Pilipinas agenda, na naglalayong gawing mas epektibo ang pamahalaan, tiyakin ang inklusibong pag-unlad ng ekonomiya, at ibalik ang tiwala ng mamamayan sa mga institusyon.

“Now, with the Bagong Pilipinas agenda at the center of the administration’s vision, this recognition carries even greater weight. Bagong Pilipinas is about transformation – about making government work more efficiently, ensuring that economic growth is felt by ordinary Filipinos, and restoring trust in public institutions,” ani Speaker Romualdez.

Bilang dominanteng majority party, nakatuon ang Lakas-CMD sa pagsusulong ng mga repormang pambatas at pampatakaran na nakahanay sa mga pambansang layuning ito.

Pinagtitibay din ng pagkilalang ito ang papel ng partido sa pangangalaga sa integridad ng halalan at demokratikong proseso, ayon kay Speaker Romualdez.

“This also means ensuring that the 2025 elections are clean, credible and orderly. Dominant status comes with the duty to help safeguard the democratic process, making sure that the people’s will is upheld and that governance remains focused on their needs,” aniya.

Hinikayat ni Speaker Romualdez ang mga miyembro at tagasuporta ng Lakas-CMD na ituring ang pagkilalang ito hindi bilang isang gantimpala, kundi bilang isang hamon na higit pang pagbutihin ang paglilingkod sa bayan.

“To our members and supporters: This is more than just a title. It is a call to work harder, to serve better and to prove once again that Lakas-CMD is not just a party of influence – it is a party of action,” binigyang-diin ni Speaker Romualdez.

Muling pinagtibay ng Speaker ang pangako ng Lakas-CMD na maghatid ng epektibong pamamahala na may konkretong resulta at makipagtulungan sa lahat ng sektor upang makamit ang pambansang kaunlaran.

“Mabuhay ang Lakas-CMD! Mabuhay ang Bagong Pilipinas!” ipinahayag ni Speaker Romualdez.
