HOUSE committee on appropriations vice chairman and Aklan 2nd District Rep. Teodorico Haresco, Jr. on Monday lauded Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez for his ‘consistent’ high approval ratings in the recent surveys.

Speaker Romualdez has increased satisfactory ratings up to 60% according to the results of the Pulso ng Pilipino tracking survey of The Issues and Advocacy Center (The CENTER) conducted from September 23 to 30.

In another survey conducted by OCTA Research last July 22-26, Romualdez had 54% trust approval ratings.

“The consistently high approval ratings of Speaker Romualdez is proof of his proven and dynamic leadership as Speaker of the House of Representatives and as public servant.

He has always been a reliable servant-leader to the people; quick to respond to the needs of every legislative district, especially during emergencies,” Haresco said.

The solon also mentioned how the Speaker immediately provided assistance during the onslaught of typhoon Paeng which resulted to more than P1 billion in damage and killed 36 people in Western Visayas last November 2022.

“The province of Aklan alone has witnessed his love and dedication to serve the Filipino people coupled with his decisive actions. When Typhoon Paeng struck our provinces, the Speaker has immediately sent aid within hours,” the solon added.

Haresco said that the Office of Speaker Romualdez has been a “reliable ally to Aklan,” providing immediate aid during the recent onslaught of red tide and African Swine Fever that affected the province.

“We are extremely grateful to the compassion and generosity that the Speaker has extended to our province. I am confident that with his strong-willed and effective leadership in the House of Representatives, more Filipino families will benefit greatly,” Haresco added.
