Naniniwala si House Speaker Martin Romualdez na malaki ang maitutulong ni Deputy Speaker at Batangas Representative Ralph Recto sa administrasyon ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. upang mapabuti ang kalagayan ng bansa.
Kasunod ito ng pagkakatalaga kay Recto bilang bagong kalihim ng Department of Finance (DOF).
“Warmest congratulations to former Senator and current Deputy Speaker Ralph Recto on his well-deserved appointment as the new Secretary of the Department of Finance. His extensive knowledge and profound grasp of economics uniquely qualify him for this crucial role, making him the most fitting candidate,” ani Speaker Romualdez.
Ayon kay Speaker Romualdez malawak ang karanasan ni Recto na magagamit nito sa pamumuno sa DOF.
“Throughout his distinguished career, Secretary Recto has consistently exhibited outstanding leadership, particularly in matters related to the nation’s fiscal policies. As the former chairperson of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, he played a pivotal role in shaping legislation that significantly impacted our country’s economic landscape,” dagdag pa ng lider ng Kamara.
Katunayan, ang kaniyang pagiging dating Socioeconomic Planning Secretary at Director-General ng National Economic Development Authority ay patunay aniya sa kaniyang kakayanan sa paglikha ng mga estratehiya para sa ikauunlad ng Pilipinas.
“A visionary economist, Secretary Recto has played a key role in crafting policies aligned with the needs of the people. His dedication to sound economic principles, coupled with genuine concern for the welfare of every Filipino, has earned him respect from colleagues and constituents alike,” dagdag ng House leader.
Patunay rin umano sa mataas na lebel ng kakayanang mamuno at dedikasyon sa serbisyo publiko ni Recto ang pagkakatalaga niya bilang Deputy Speaker ng 19th Congress.
“Once again, congratulations, Secretary Ralph Recto. May your tenure be marked by groundbreaking initiatives that uplift the lives of our people and propel our nation toward greater heights,” pagtatapos ni Romualdez. | ulat ni Kathleen Jean Forbes
