Pinuri ng ilang kongresista si Pangulong Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr. sa pagkakasama nito sa TIME 100: Most Influential People 2024.
“I join the Filipino people and the House of Representatives led by Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez in congratulating President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. for being included in “Time 100: The Most Influential People 2024,” sabi ni Deputy Majority Leader at Iloilo Rep. Julienne “Jam” Baronda.
“This recognition simply shows the transformational and visionary leadership being pursued by President Bongbong Marcos and his GUGMA (love) for our country and people is being felt and seen not only by us Filipinos but also by the international community,” dagdag nito.
Aniya, tulad ng binibigyan-diin ng Time Magazine, nasa tamang direksyon si Pangulong Marcos habang ibinalik ang mga technocrats sa gobyerno, pinatatag ang ekonomiya pagkatapos ng pandemya, at itinaas ang Pilipinas sa entablado ng mundo.
“I express my full support to President Bongbong Marcos as he walks his talk towards a Bagong Pilipinas,” ayon pa kay Baronda.
Sinegundahan naman ito ni OFW party list Rep. Marissa “Del Mar” Magsino na nagsabing ang pagkilalang ito ay binibigyan-diin ang malaking epekto na ginawa ni Pangulong Marcos sa parehong pambansa at internasyonal na mga gawain, na nagpapakita ng kanyang dedikasyon at pagsisikap sa pagsusulong ng interes ng mamamayang Pilipino.
Sa ilalim ng malakas na pamumuno at pananaw ng PBBM, nasaksihan ng Pilipinas ang paglago ng ekonomiya, na may 6% na pagtaas sa GDP at isang kahanga-hangang 90% na surge sa foreign direct investments.
“These achievements are a testament to the effectiveness of the President’s diplomatic efforts and strategic engagements abroad, which have evidently bolstered our nation’s economic prosperity,” sabi ni Magsino.
“Together with the leadership of the House of Representatives, ably headed by Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez, I also commend the President’s steadfast commitment to and policy thrusts on the welfare of our Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), particularly on upholding ethical recruitment practices, fighting for the rights of our OFWs, and on the need for responsive mechanisms for social welfare, repatriation, and reintegration. These initiatives are essential in safeguarding the welfare and rights of our OFWs, who play a crucial role in sustaining our economy and fostering global relations,” paliwanag pa nito.
“Being lumped together with the world’s best and brightest, and to be touted as among the ‘Most Influential,’ is something that makes us proud of our President,” sabi ni House Assistant Majority Leader at Zambales Rep. Jay Khonghun.
“It’s an affirmation that the 31 million Filipinos who voted for him simply made the right choice,” Khonghun said proudly, glad that the Philippines has now been “elevated in the world stage,” aniya pa.
Ganito rin ang sinabi ni House Deputy Majority Leader at PBA party list Migs Nograles na nagsabing magandang simula ang ginawa ni Pangulong Marcos.
“This is a very good start for the administration. This also bodes well not just for our improving and stellar economy, but for the things to come in the next four years. The best is yet to come as they say,” ayon kay Nograles.
Ang iba pang kongresista na nagpahayag ng papuri sina Taguig Rep. Pammy Zamora, Lanao del Sur Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong at La Union Rep. Paolo Ortega.
