UNITE for the country’s brighter future.

This is the appeal of Vice President Sara Duterte to the new members of Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD) as he also asked them to support the Priority Agenda of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Duterte, the current chairman of the Lakas-CMD, witnessed the mass oath taking of the new members from Mindanao particularly from Davao del Norte and Davao de Oro.

In her speech, Duterte has cited the administration’s 8-point economic agenda that aim to address the immediate concerns of the country, such as inflation, by protecting the purchasing power of families and consumers.

“By accepting to become a member of a political party, we also accept the challenge to work in unity towards a common goal – the welfare of the people we serve,” Duterte said.

“As servant-leaders of our respective communities, we are called to steadfastly adhere to and live by the principles of Lakas-CMD that have fostered dignified and exemplary leadership from our peers in the party,” she added.

She said the growing number of Lakas-CMD members from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao is not just a positive indication of its political gains, but also “signifies the larger role in creating impactful changes that will benefit the future of the nation when it comes to governance.”

“May the welfare of our nation remain at the forefront of our collective aspiration within the Lakas-CMD,” Duterte said.

“Let us bear in mind that the good of our nation lies at the core of our noble mission in this movement,” she added.

Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, the president of Lakas-CMD, has administered the mass oath taking.

Present during the event are top officials of Lakas-CMD.
