Senator Ronald Dela Rosa expects the administration of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. to do better than that of former President Rodrigo Duterte’s.
Dela Rosa welcomed the pronouncement of Marcos during his recent inauguration that he shares the dreams of Filipinos that no one will be left behind.
“Hindi naman tayo umaasa na pababa ‘yung trend of governance ng ating bansa. Dapat paakyat, pataas.”
“Ako’y nagdarasal, ako’y umaasa na masobrahan pa nila ‘yung kabutihang naibigay ng previous administration. Hindi naman tayo umaasa na pababa ‘yung trend of governance ng ating bansa. Dapat paakyat, pataas,” the legislator said.
The lawmaker said the Senate would maintain its independence while closely cooperating with the Chief Executive on his legislative agenda.
“We will maintain our independence in the Senate.”
“Wala naman sigurong iniisip ‘yung ating Pangulo kundi para sa kabutihan ng ating bansa so, susuporta tayo. But then again, we will maintain our independence in the Senate,” the senator assured.
As a Mindanao native, he is hoping Marcos will maintain “balanced development” across the country as what Duterte implemented.
“I will be rooting for him pagdating sa promise na ‘yon dahil alam mo, I am from Mindanao and we’ve been, you know, we’ve been lagging behind from all aspects of development since noon pa. So ito ngayon medyo, panahon ni Pangulong Duterte, medyo nabigyang pansin ang Mindanao, so sana po ay tuloy-tuloy na,” Dela Rosa stressed.
