“A long life, excellent health, and more opportunities to serve her beloved Filipino people.”
Ito ang naging bungad na pahayag ni House Majority Leader and Leyte 1st District Rep. Martin G. Romualdez bilang kanyang pagbati sa ika-44 kaarawan ni Vice President-elect Sara Duterte kahapon.
“I join the Filipino nation in extending our warmest greetings to Vice President-elect Sara Duterte as she celebrates her birthday today,” dugtong ng presidente ng Lakas-Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD).
“We thank the Lord for giving her a full life, and we pray that He will continue to bless our incoming Vice President with good health and strength of will as she faces the next big challenge of her life,” ang sabi pa ni Romualdez patungkol sa kanilang kapartido, na siyang magiging ikalabinglimang pangalawang pangulo ng bansa.
Ayon kay Romualdez, si Vice President-elect Inday Sara ay isang tunay na public servant na ang pangunahing layunin ay matugunan ang pangangailangan ng kanyang mga nasasakupan, na mas lalo pa aniyang lumawak at tumatag sa gitna ng nararanasang pandemya.
“She has the right mix of compassion, courage, and leadership that the people need for guidance and inspiration during tough times like this pandemic. We are all lucky to have her,” paglalarawan pa ng House Majority Leader sa presidential daughter.
Si Romualdez ay nagkaroon ng pagkakataon makatrabaho si Duterte partikular nitong nakaraang election season kung saan ang una ay tumayo bilang isa sa dalawang campaign managers ng huli.
“Let me also take this opportunity to extend to Vice President-elect Sara Duterte my heartfelt gratitude for accepting our offer for her to join the Lakas-CMD as our Chair. We, her party-mates, are proud to have her as our leader and guiding light. Maraming salamat po, VP Sara, sa pagtanggap sa hamon ng panahon. Maraming salamat po sa serbisyo at malasakit. Mabuhay po kayo!” pagtatapos ni Romualdez. ROMER R. BUTUYAN
