“We, Members of the House representing the proud provinces, cities, and districts of North Luzon—from Ilocos to Cagayan Valley, from the Cordilleras to the northern frontiers of Central Luzon—stand as one in affirming our full, firm and unwavering confidence in the capable and impartial leadership of Speaker Bojie Dy III as he steers the House toward meaningful legislation, political stability and national progress.”
Ayon sa mga mambabatas, nagpamalas ang House Speaker ng “steady and unifying leadership, paggalang sa lokal na otonomiya at malinaw na legislative agenda na nakatuon sa pagrekober ng ekonomiya, agrikultura, imprastruktura, kapayapaan at kaayusan, pag-ulan ng kabataan at regional growth.
“In his leadership, we see stability. In his example, we see fairness. In his direction, we see continuity and progress,” ayon sa manifesto.
