Arroyo at Ungab sinibak bilang Deputy Speaker

Inalis ng Kamara de Representantes sa pagiging Deputy Speakers  sina dating Pangulo at Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo at Davao City Rep. Isidro Ungab.

Ayon sa ulat, sinabi ni House Majority Leader at Zamboanga City Rep. Manuel Jose Dalipe na matapos ang masusing deliberasyon ay nagdesisyon ang liderato ng Kamara na alisin sina Arroyo at Ungab matapos na hindi pumirma sa resolusyon na sumusuporta kay Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez at sa Kamara laban sa paninira rito.

“This decision stems from the fact that out of the nine Deputy Speakers, only Deputy Speakers Macapagal-Arroyo and Ungab chose not to sign a pivotal House resolution sponsored by the entire leadership,” ayon kay Dalipe.

“This decision stems from the fact that out of the nine Deputy Speakers, only Deputy Speakers Macapagal-Arroyo and Ungab chose not to sign a pivotal House resolution sponsored by the entire leadership,” sabi ni Dalipe.

“This particular resolution was of paramount importance, as it manifested the collective intention of the House leadership to rise in unison in defense of the institution,” sabi pa ni Dalipe. “This resolution was a response to certain quarters that have recently levied criticisms and scurrilous attacks against the House and its leadership.”

“The House leadership respects the right of each member to their individual opinions and decisions,” dagdag pa ng solon. “However, leadership positions come with certain responsibilities and expectations.”

“By choosing not to sign the resolution, Deputy Speakers Macapagal-Arroyo and Ungab have demonstrated that their perspectives differ from the collective stance of the leadership,” sabi pa ni Dalipe.
