Handang makipagtulungan ang Kamara sa economic managers ng administrasyong Marcos sa mga hakbang na naglalayong kontrolin ang inflation, na kumakatawan sa pagtaas ng halaga ng mga bilihin at serbisyo.
Ito ang sinabi ni Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez sa ginanap na briefing na itinakda ng mga miyembro ng Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC) sa epekto ng inflation sa national government programs, activities and projects.
“Of course, one of the pressing issues (facing the economy and the nation) is the inflation rate. This is a global phenomenon. But again, hearing from you (today) would be a very, very good thing for us to prioritize. Again, I reiterate the Congress’ willingness to work hand-in-hand, to be marching in lockstep with the executive in pursuing the solutions to the economic challenges that the country faces,” sa pahayag ni Romualdez.
Sinabi ni Speaker Romualdez na talagang hiniling nito sa House Appropriations Committee na magsagawa ng oversight hearing upang makita kung paano magtutulungan ang Kongreso at ang economic managers na ituloy ang buong diskarte ng gobyerno sa pagtugon sa mga problema ng ekonomiya.
“We are here together to see how we can work hand-in-hand and we’d like to very much hear from our economic managers how we can engage and make sure that our functions here in the Congress would become more meaningful, more responsive to the needs of the Filipino people,” ayon pa dito.
“This is our mission, thus is the order of our President, Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., to make sure that the lives of Filipino people are much better, that they be more comfortable, safer,” dagdag pa ng lider ng Kamara.
Pinasalamatan din ni Romualdez ang mga miyembro ng DBCC na sina Department of Finance (DOF) Secretary Benjamin Diokno, Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Sec. Amenah Pangandaman, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Gov. Felipe Medalla, at National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Director General Arsenio Balisacan sa pagdalo sa briefing ng mga kongresista.
“We look forward to more of these meetings and engagements,” ani Romualdez sa kanyang mga kapwa kongresista at maging economic managers ng gobyerno.
