Romualdez on Thursday welcomed the Commission on Elections\u2019 (Comelec) recognition of Lakas-CMD as the dominant majority party for the 2025 midterm elections, calling it a reaffirmation of the party\u2019s legacy of leadership and action.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cLakas-CMD welcomes the Commission on Elections\u2019 (Comelec) recognition of our party as the dominant majority party for the 2025 midterm elections. This is a significant moment for us \u2013 not just as a political organization, but as a team that has consistently worked to move the country forward,\u201d Speaker Romualdez said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As Lakas-CMD president, Speaker Romualdez highlighted the party\u2019s longstanding contributions to national development, citing its history of producing two presidents and shaping key policies that strengthened the economy, enhanced national security, and built critical infrastructure.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cLakas-CMD has been here before. We have led, we have governed and we have delivered. Our party has produced two Presidents and played a major role in shaping policies that strengthened the economy, improved national security, and built critical infrastructure,\u201d Speaker Romualdez, a lawyer from the University of the Philippines (UP), said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWe have always believed that leadership is about producing real results, not just holding positions,\u201d he added. The leader of the 300-plus-strong House of Representatives emphasized that Lakas-CMD\u2019s dominant status comes with the responsibility of advancing the Bagong Pilipinas agenda, which aims to ensure a more efficient government, inclusive economic growth and the restoration of public trust in institutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cNow, with the Bagong Pilipinas agenda at the center of the administration\u2019s vision, this recognition carries even greater weight. Bagong Pilipinas is about transformation \u2013 about making government work more efficiently, ensuring that economic growth is felt by ordinary Filipinos, and restoring trust in public institutions,\u201d Speaker Romualdez stated.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As the dominant majority party, Lakas-CMD is committed to pushing for legislative and policy reforms that align with these national objectives.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The recognition also reinforces the party\u2019s role in upholding electoral integrity and democratic processes, Speaker Romualdez said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThis also means ensuring that the 2025 elections are clean, credible and orderly. Dominant status comes with the duty to help safeguard the democratic process, making sure that the people\u2019s will is upheld and that governance remains focused on their needs,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Speaker Romualdez urged Lakas-CMD members and supporters to view this recognition not as an accolade, but as a challenge to further elevate public service.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cTo our members and supporters: This is more than just a title. It is a call to work harder, to serve better and to prove once again that Lakas-CMD is not just a party of influence \u2013 it is a party of action,\u201d Speaker Romualdez stressed.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Speaker reaffirmed Lakas-CMD\u2019s commitment to delivering results-driven governance and working with all sectors to achieve national progress.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cMabuhay ang Lakas-CMD! Mabuhay ang Bagong Pilipinas!\u201d Speaker Romualdez declared.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SPEAKER Ferdinand Martin G.
