Tulfo praised the President for securing a lot of commitment and investment pledges and gaining possible investors that are beneficial for the country’s economy.

These investors will create many jobs for Filipinos, Tulfo said.

Tulfo is positive that these investment pledges will benefit the country and the Filipinos in the long run, and that his upcoming SONA will give the President an opportunity to make known to the public the extent of his commitment borne from his diplomatic trips abroad.

The senator also noticed PBBM’s good qualities as a leader, saying that the President does not blame his predecessor for the problems he inherited.

He likewise lauded PBBM for prioritizing the welfare of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), saying, “buhos ang suporta ni BBM para sa mga kababayan nating OFW.”

In highlighting PBBM’s support for OFWs, Tulfo recognized the President for the recent pardon of three convicted OFWs in the United Arab Emirates, two of whom are in death row.

It can be recalled that PBBM appealed to UAE President Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan for the freedom of the three convicted OFWs through two letters sent in late April.
