Tinitiyak ni House Speaker Martin G. Romualdez sa mga miyembro ng Mababang Kapulungan ng Kongreso at ng mga nasasakupan ng mga ito na magiging patas ang pamamahagi ng national resources.
“As your Speaker, I vow to attend to all the concerns of your constituents. I shall try to be as fair as possible and favor no one,” sabi ni Romualdez, matapos mahalal bilang bagong House Speaker ng 19th Congress.
“There will be fair and equitable distribution of resources for development of our regions, regardless of political affiliation. Every Filipino family must be included in any development agenda. No one gets left behind,” aniya.
Sinabi pa nito na nakabukas ang opisina nito para sa lahat ng kinatawan ng taumbayan maging ito ay miyembro ng mayorya o minorya.
“Priority will be given to those willing to share the aspirations of their constituents with me,” sabi pa nito.
Nagpasalamat din si Romualdez kay Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. sa pagsuporta nito sa Kamara para maisulong ang pagkakaisa ng kongresista at kay Department of Education Secretary at Vice President Sara Duterte na personal na sumaksi sa panunumpa nito bilang bagong House Speaker.
Pinasalamatan din ni Romualdez si dating Speaker at Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco sa tagumpay ng 18th Congress kung saan nagsilbi ang una bilang House majority leader.
“I would like of course to thank my immediate past predecessor, Speaker Lord Allan J. Velasco. With all the legislative agenda that we accomplished together, he’s too responsible for the refurbishment of the most beautiful session hall that we have today, thank you Speaker and to (former) Secretary General Dong Mendoza,” paliwanag pa ni Romualdez.
“Rather than I set the position, I ask you all to accept the duty of service to the people, for you and I can move together as a team as we had in the previous Congress, and in unity there is strength,” dagdag pa nito.
