Romualdez: Sara to steer PH to greater heights

LAKAS-CMD President and House Majority Leader and Leyte 1st District Rep. Martin G. Romualdez on early Thursday evening welcomed Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte as new member of the party, adding her focused and strong leadership can steer the nation to greater heights.

“The officials and members of Lakas-CMD are elated to welcome Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte as new member of our party. We had long been inviting Mayor Inday to join our party as we are all impressed with her sterling qualities as a leader and we saw up close her exemplary work ethic as chief executive of Davao City,” Romualdez said immediately after physically administering the oath to Duterte at the Revilla Farm in Silang, Cavite exactly 6 p.m. Thursday.

Sen. Ramon “Bong” Revilla, Jr., Lakas-CMD chairman, witnessed the oath-taking of Duterte.

Lakas-CMD produced two presidents, namely former Presidents Fidel V. Ramos and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Romualdez, chairman of the House Committee on Rules, said Duterte has a proven track record with excellent credentials as mayor of Davao City.

He said the presidential daughter will be a very promising leader and a tremendous asset to the Lakas-CMD.

“I am confident that with Mayor Sara’s exceptional brand of leadership, she can help our party chart a new course that will ensure a brighter tomorrow for our children and the next generation,” said Romualdez, a lawyer from University of the Philippines (UP) and president of the Philippine Constitution Association (Philconsa).
