The House of Representatives under the leadership of Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez will act as one to fight any threat or intimidation against any of its members, Majority Leader Jose Manuel Dalipe said.
“We do not want that anybody would just issue a death threat to any senator or to any congressman, or even to the president of the Philippines, vice president of the Philippines. Hindi po puwede ,” the Zamboanga 2nd District lawmaker added. Furthermore, underscoring the House’s financial health, the COA report published last July 6 highlighted that the House had a budget surplus of P4.69 billion in its 2022 allocations.
In the interview, Dalipe made it clear that such claims are unfounded and that the House is held to the same rigorous auditing standards as any government agency. He said that the House members were saddened by the statements made by the former president, all while pondering the timing of these remarks.
