Tawi-Tawi BPSF sets record attendance of solons
THE Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair (BPSF) in Tawi-Tawi has, by far, registered the highest attendance among members of the House of Representatives, with over 95 lawmakers attending the two-day event last May 23 until this Friday in the Municipality of Bongao.
Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez, one of the main proponents and prime mover of the BPSF, was pleased to see 95 lawmakers attending the two-day service caravan, traveling great distances just to witness the revolutionary program of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos at work.
“Atin pong ikinagagalak ang presensya ng 95 na miyembro ng Kamara de Representantes dito sa BARMM, sa Tawi-Tawi. Hindi biro ang paglalakbay natin dito ngayon, pero hindi ito inalintana ng ating mga kasamahan para masaksihan ang programa ni Pangulong Marcos Jr.,” Romualdez, the leader of the 300-plus-strong House of Representatives, said.
“At tunay naman na nakakaalis ng pagod ang makita natin ang ating mga kababayan na nagbebenepisyo sa mga programang ating pinopondohan sa Kongreso. Ang bawat numerong ating pinagdedebatehan sa Kamara ay may katumbas na pamilyang makikinabang sa ayudang ating aaprubahan,” he added.
Speaker Romualdez represented President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. as the Keynote Speaker in the Sevice Caravan ni Tawi-Tawi, with Gov. Yshmael I. Sali and Rep. Dimszar M. Sali both acting as local hosts for the event.
