SPEAKER Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez on Wednesday said people would soon see a “more dynamic, more proactive government” with the signing of the “Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas” agreement between Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) and Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP).
President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., who is PFP chairman, is the guest of honor and principal speaker during the signing of the alliance accord.
“As we sign this agreement today, we do so with the full weight of our responsibility in mind. This document is not merely symbolic – it is a covenant with our citizens, a promise of unwavering dedication and relentless effort to unite and uplift our beloved country,” he told his colleagues in the two political parties,” Speaker Romualdez, who is Lakas-CMD president, said during the alliance signing held at the Manila Polo Club.
“In the upcoming years, through the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas, you will witness a government that is more dynamic, more proactive, and more responsive to the needs of its people. This alliance will demonstrate how collaboration and genuine partnership can translate into real, impactful change,” he said.
Speaker Romualdez said the Lakas-CMD-PFP alliance “is more than a political union; it represents a collective commitment to the prosperity and welfare of every Filipino and heralds a new era of governance founded on integrity, transparency, accountability, and inclusivity.”
“Our agenda is clear. We are here to enhance the quality of life for every Filipino. We commit to ensuring that the fruits of economic growth are distributed equitably, reaching every province and every community. We pledge to uphold the highest standards of governance, making every decision and action transparent and accountable to the people we serve,” he added.
The House leader pointed out that alliance aligns its initiatives “with the strategic direction of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., striving to implement policies that boost our economy, improve our infrastructure, and elevate our health and educational systems.”
“We are dedicated to sustainable development that addresses both present and future needs, securing a prosperous legacy for the generations that will follow,” he stressed.
He said the union of the two political parties forms the “most powerful political force in our country today.”
“Our strength is not only in our numbers but in our shared resolve to enact substantial and lasting change throughout the Philippines. Our alliance is distinguished not only by its breadth but also by its depth,” he said.
It includes two prominent senators, a significant majority of congressmen have joined our ranks, alongside numerous provincial governors, city and municipal mayors, as well as provincial board members, and city and municipal councilors from across the nation, he said.
“This extensive network of committed public servants at every level ensures that our vision for a Bagong Pilipinas is not just a top-down directive but a nationwide movement, permeating every corner of the archipelago,” Speaker Romualdez added.
“From the bustling streets of our cities to the quiet pathways of our barangays, members of this alliance are unified in their mission to spread and implement the vision of a new Philippines. We are driven by the goal of creating a nation where every citizen has the opportunity to prosper, where governance is participatory, and where progress is felt by all,” he emphasized.
He told alliance members that there are big challenges that lie ahead “but we are equally inspired by the boundless opportunities they present.”
“Together, we can turn these challenges into catalysts for growth and transformation,” he said.
He invited his colleagues, “whether you are directly involved in this alliance or a supportive observer, to contribute to this noble cause.”
“Let us join hands and hearts, uniting our efforts in building a better future for the Philippines. Together, we will realize the dream of a Bagong Pilipinas, not just in our hopes but in our everyday realities,” he said.
