“This unbroken record of enormous legislative productivity in the 19th Congress couldn’t have happened minus the purposive, action-oriented leadership of the congressman from Leyte,” Villafuerte said, referring to Romualdez, who is  Leyte 1st District representative.

His office added in the statement: “Villafuerte sees a finer year ahead for Filipinos this 2025 as the socio-economic reform agenda of President Marcos starts taking bigger strides toward much higher public spending on infrastructure, social protection and other priority programs.”
