SPEAKER Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez on Sunday paid homage to hardworking fathers who have diligently worked to provide for their families in their efforts to raise their children as responsible citizens of society.
“Building a home, keeping it a safe space for dreams and aspirations to grow, and inspiring our families to be productive members of the community are just as important to nation-building as any other duty, responsibility or calling,” Speaker Romualdez said.
“Being a father myself, I know how challenging it is to build a home and raise good, God-fearing children. But I can also say it is one of the most rewarding roles I am fortunate enough to have, and I would never trade it for anything in the world,” he added.
The Speaker also described fathers as the “heroes of our home.”
“Seeing my family and my children grow to be exceptional versions of themselves gives me the motivation not only to be a better father and leader of my household but to be a better person and legislator, and help make our country a better place for all families,” he said.
“To all the fathers out there, this is your day. Let us all express gratitude to all fathers who continue to be our role models that inspire us to reach greater heights,” Speaker Romualdez said.
