Pagbati at papuri ang ipinaabot na mensahe ng mga mambabatas kay Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. matapos nitong mapasama sa prestihiyosong TIME Magazine “100 Most Influential People of 2024.”
Ayon kay House Assistant Majority Leader Jefferson Khonghun, tunay na maipagmamalaki na mapasama ang ating Pangulo sa mga ‘best at brightest’ at ‘Most Influential’ sa mundo.
“Being lumped together with the world’s best and brightest, and to be touted as among the ‘Most Influential,’ is something that makes us proud of our President,” ano Khonghun.
Para naman kay House Deputy Majority Leader Margarita Nograles, isa itong magandang simula para sa administrasyon at magandang indikasyon para sa nalalabing apat pang taon ng pamumuno ni PBBM.
“TIME magazine gave credit where it is highly due. For one, people from inside and outside of government have observed how discerning our President is in choosing members of his team, who are technocrats to begin with,” dagdag ni Nograles
Ikinalugod din ni Taguig Rep. Pammy Zamora ang pagkakahirang sa punong ehekutibo bilang Most Influential na hindi aniya isang madaling bagay.
“This is not an easy feat I should say, as we all know how judicious and high-brow the magazine is. This is a highly-coveted article coming from a very prestigious magazine that is known globally for its integrity and credibility,” ani Zamora
Naniniwala naman si Lanao del Sur Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong na malaking bagay para sa Pangulo na kilalanin ng isa sa pinaka respetadong news magazine ang kanilang mga paghihirap lalo na ang pagtindig laban sa panggigipit ng China.
“I can imagine how the President feels that after all his hard work, it has now come to this – a credit from no less than one of the most respected news magazines in the world for several decades. What he started to plant is now bearing fruit, so to speak,. We’re glad that TIME magazine acknowledged that despite being a silent and low-key head of state, they gave credit to President Marcos for standing up against China’s continued advances over our very own maritime territory,” sabi ni Adiong
Ikinatuwa rin ni Ortega ang tagumpay na ito ng Pangulo na muling naglagay sa Pilipinas sa world stage.
“Atleast now we’re back on the world map. It makes us very proud of our President. From Congress’ perspective, all our efforts in passing priority bills of the administration have paid off. Seeing our President on the world stage inspires us to work even more,” diin ni Ortega. | ulat ni Kathleen Forbes
