00:00 The participants of the session in the House of Representatives were very enthusiastic.
00:05 House Speaker Martin V. Hualdes gave a bold speech against the critics of the House of Representatives.
00:12 While Senior Deputy Speaker Don Gonzales suddenly became a star in his PDP party.
00:19 Mela Lesmora will tell you the details. Rise and shine, Mela.
00:24 I will stand against anyone who will force us to do what they want.
00:32 I will stand against everyone for the good of the country.
00:40 This is the bold speech of House Speaker Martin V. Hualdes against the critics of the House of Representatives
00:46 when he led their return session yesterday.
00:50 He defended their realignment in the proposed 2024 national budget
00:56 which he should have done and went through the right process.
01:00 The House was never lenient nor did it favor anyone.
01:04 The entire process was dedicated to uplifting the lives of our fellow citizens
01:08 and staying true to the fundamental principles of the system of checks and balances in the government.
01:14 There is no personnel here, just work.
01:19 And as the Speaker, I am telling you in no uncertain terms that every centavo
01:24 that was approved for spending under the 2024 national expenditure program will be judiciously spent.
01:32 The House Speaker was also adamant that even if their positions are not the same in their respective areas,
01:37 in times of need, congressmen are truly united.
01:42 Even if we have different views and beliefs, we are united in standing up for our institution.
01:51 We will not allow anyone to stop us in our fight for our mandate to our fellow citizens.
02:01 Following this, the House Resolution No. 1414 was immediately passed in the plenary
02:07 which strengthened the integrity and integrity of the House and promoted unity and support
02:14 to the leadership of Speaker Romualdez.
02:17 The House was converted as a committee of the whole to discuss the resolution.
02:22 I have no problem with this resolution.
02:26 But let us place this in context.
02:30 For the record, what recent events transpired subverting the integrity of the House of Representatives
02:40 to merit the consideration of this resolution?
02:44 Well, Mr. Chairman, I believe, as you know, during the break there were threats
02:50 against one of the House members and the House itself.
02:54 So I believe this is a show of solidarity not only towards the Speaker
02:59 but for the institution as a whole and its sanctity.
03:02 To lay out the other details of their defamation of the House's reputation,
03:07 Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Don Gonzales, Jr. also appeared in the plenary
03:12 who suddenly became a member of the BTC and an official of the PDP-Laban.
03:17 I hate to say this, Mr. Chairman, but when I heard the word "rotten,"
03:24 of course, I felt bad regarding Mr. Chairman.
03:29 I also would feel bad hearing that accusation that the House is rotten.
03:36 But may we know who uttered that statement?
03:42 Was it a comic or a leader or previous leader of this country?
03:51 Before I will answer, I will resign now as member and officer of PDP-Laban.
03:58 The former president, former president, Rodrigo Coroado XIII, the one who said that, Mr. Chairman.
04:07 Then, the House leaders also jumped up one by one to express their support for the resolution
04:14 and for Speaker Mualdez and they also adopted HR 1414.
04:20 If the resolution is to be re-issued, it should be noted that it is not without its members,
04:25 House Deputy Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
04:28 Her office is also in support.
04:30 Arroyo is still in other countries but like her previous statements,
04:35 her support for Speaker Mualdez is continuous.
