Velasco: Being close to Duterte an advantage to be next Speaker

MANILA, Philippines — Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco, a contender to the House speakership, said on Tuesday that his loyalty to the President and his daughter, is what makes him different from his competitor, incoming Leyte 1st District Rep. Martin Romualdez.

“The difference between me and Martin , I’m a loyal friend to the President and Mayor Inday ,” Velasco said in an interview over ABS CBN News Channel.Being close to the President Rodrigo Duterte is an “advantage,” Velasco said, even though the House needs to be an independent institution. “People say it might be a disadvantage if I become speaker because I’m very close to the President,” he said.

DYGalvezINQ Too proud of his loyalty to the ineffective, maniacal president... let's see how you will turn around when the foul mouthed is no longer in power.

DYGalvezINQ garapalan na talaga mga mambabatas na ito! bakit, mga duterte ba nagpapa sweldo sa inyo? meron din kayong katapusan at di natutulog ang Diyos!

DYGalvezINQ Public servants near extinction & replaced by Duterte servants. Pinas may have had rice, water & power shortages but never bobotantes.

DYGalvezINQ How low can you go...

DYGalvezINQ Did Velasco just put shit in his mouth? Unbelievable how record low a DDS could get.

DYGalvezINQ Here comes another Rubber Stamp-Congressman, 🤮

DYGalvezINQ Loyalty must be with the Constitution, rule of law and in general welfare of the country, rather than to a person. Jusko naman!

DYGalvezINQ Hmmm. Ok lang yan. Kesa naman kay Alvarez at Cayetano.

DYGalvezINQ sir, wag ka papakasiguro jan.. baka sa huli kainin mo sinabi mo..

DYGalvezINQ Dating LP yan.

DYGalvezINQ REQUIREMENT NA PALA SA PAGIGING SPEAKER SA CONGRESS DAPAT MAGALING HUMIMUD KAY DUTERTE 🙄🙄

DYGalvezINQ Your loyalty to the Pres is exactly why you shouldn’t be considered for Speakership. People! Loyalty to the country is what counts and of utmost importance!!! Is the pres 1000% loyal to Phils? Or divided among Phils, China and himself?

DYGalvezINQ With this kind of statement I think he's losing!?

DYGalvezINQ Hindi ba sya yung nag-Pepe-dede-ralismo? Magkamukha sila. 😄

DYGalvezINQ Eto lang masasabi ko kay Rep. Velasco. Tangina mo! Di ka binoto para maging aso ng isang Presidente. Kaya nga magkakahiwalay ang tatlong sangay ng gobyerno para sa check and balance at dapat maging independent sila sa isat-isa.

DYGalvezINQ Mga BULLSHIT ang mga nanalo ngayon. Totoo ang climate change.

DYGalvezINQ Mag sisilbi lang yan kay Digong. Period.

DYGalvezINQ Yuck!

DYGalvezINQ Ito mga dapat itapon kasama nang basura sa china bobo

DYGalvezINQ ...we all can see how close you are to the President by your brown nose!!....

DYGalvezINQ Wow! Talagang yang 2 ugok ang boss mo kahit taong bayan ang naghalalal at nagpapasweldo sa iyo?

DYGalvezINQ Gayahin mo si VicoSotto .

DYGalvezINQ Just what we needed another zombie.

DYGalvezINQ Ay naku lord (small letter sa L as stated earlier), dapat ang loyalty mo sa constituents at sa PILIPINAS hindi sa kahit kanino. Dahil ang nagluklok sa iyo sa pwestok, taong bayan. Dun ka dapat papanig sa na-aayon para sa bayan hindi tama sa may TAMA! 😅

DYGalvezINQ Hmm 🤔 Will congress be a rubber stamp with him in the helm?

DYGalvezINQ You can tell at this early, Congress will be a Big rubber stamp of Duterte. Obsequious speaker in the offing! cnnphilippines ABSCBNNews

DYGalvezINQ garapalang sipsip ito! utak siguro ng droga sa marinduque itong Drug Lord Allan na ito at takot matokhang!

DYGalvezINQ Why do we need a House Speaker whose loyalty is to the President or his daughter?

DYGalvezINQ dfuq!!!!🚮🚮🚮💩💩💩

DYGalvezINQ Confirm- nanalo lang, ang mga gusto- Speakership agad.... hahaha And all claiming-CLOSE KAMI NI PRESIDENTE.

DYGalvezINQ Loyalty to the president and his daughter not to the constitution and the people. Noted.

DYGalvezINQ Woof woof woof

DYGalvezINQ Sana si pulong na lang ang maging speaker para magpahinga na si itay.... tutal dati pa namang magulo ang kongreso

DYGalvezINQ Wala ng kahiya hiya

DYGalvezINQ Well he said it himself! Arf arf

DYGalvezINQ Loyalty to the President.. Ngayon pa lang lumabas na agad tunay na kulay mo.

DYGalvezINQ Shouldn’t it be loyalty to the republic first?

DYGalvezINQ Loyalty to the president, instead of loyalty to the country and filipino people. Lahat talaga gagawin para sa kapangyarihan

DYGalvezINQ Nahuli sa bibig!

DYGalvezINQ What happen to the loyalty to our country

DYGalvezINQ bakit loyalty kay mang kanor ang nilalaban mo? di ba dapat eh loyalty sa taong bayan? HOR MUST BE AN INDEPENDENT BODY! hello check and balance?!

DYGalvezINQ Something's wrong.. Loyalty to country over and above the presidential family

DYGalvezINQ Wow.. Loyalty to the President..... 😂
