I welcome the election of Isabela 6th District Rep. Faustino “Bojie” Dy III as the new Speaker of the House of Representatives.
I have personally known Bojie for a long time and I am confident that his experience and steady leadership will serve the House well during this critical period.
This transition, however, should not distract us from the unresolved issues surrounding past budgets and infrastructure anomalies. Leadership changes must lead to institutional reform, not selective amnesia.
I wish Speaker Dy the very best. I trust that he will rise to the challenge and steer the House toward greater integrity and responsiveness to the people’s concerns.
