Ipinarating ng kampo ni Vice President Leni Robredo ang pagkilala at paggalang nito sa naging resulta ng nakalipas na May 9 elections kay House Majority Leader at Leyte 1st District Rep. Martin G. Romualdez.
Sa pamamagitan ng abogado ni Robredo na si Atty. Romulo “Romymac” Macalintal na kinatawan ng una sa isinasagawang congressional canvass sa boto para sa president at vice president, ipinarating nito ang pagkilala sa nakalipas na eleksyon kasabay ng panawagan sa mga tagasuporta nito na tanggapin ang resulta ng eleksyon.
“Your honors, in her public statements, VP Robredo asked her supporters that we need to accept the decision of the majority,” ayon kay Macalintal na kilalang election lawyer.
“May we be allowed to respectufully waive our appearance before the joint commitee to further expedite this proceeding,” dagdag pa nito.
Nagpasalamat naman si Romualdez kay Robredo sa pagkilala sa integridad ng isinasagawang pagbilang ng boto ng mga kongresista at senador na miyembro ng National Board of Canvassers (NBOC).
“I join my co-chair in expressing gratitude and appreciation on behalf of both houses (of Congress) and the Filipino people for the graciousness of the Vice President and for the sportsman-like conduct of her counsel, in the person of Atty. Romy Macalintal,” sabi ng pangulo ng Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD).
Samantala, nagpasalamat din si Romualdez kay President-elect Bongbong Marcos sa pamamagitan ni presumptive Executive Secretary Atty. Victor Rodriguez.
“Indeed, the (unity) theme of the UniTeam begins to prevail in the country. The healing has begun, let us unite as a nation for and by the Filipino people. Maraming salamat,” sabi ni Romualdez.
“We join in the manifestation of my distinguished colleague and one of the election law practitioners, Atty Romulo ‘Romymac’ Macalintal,” tugon ni Rodriguez kay Macalintal.
“Likewise, we would like to recognize and thank the patriotism exhibited by Vice President Leni Robredo for expressly recognizing the integrity and the result of the recently-concluded general elections,” ayon pa dito.
