MANILA — Senior Deputy Speaker Rep. Aurelio Gonzales Jr. urged Senator Imee Marcos to support her brother, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., in amending the economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution.
Gonzales pointed out that the success of the Marcos administration would also be the success of the country.
“If I were Senator – especially being Senator Imee’s sibling, I would support the Marcos administration because the success of her brother is synonymous with the success of our country, and this pertains solely to economic provisions, without political implications. That’s what I can say,” Gonzales said.
The lawmaker emphasized that Marcos’s programs and policies aim to improve the lives of all Filipinos.
“We’re all on the same boat or cruise ship called M/S Philippines. Why can’t she just help her brother succeed? The President is the duly-elected head of the Republic with a resounding 31 million votes – the highest in history,” he said.
“This amendment is for the good of the country, focusing solely on the economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution, as clearly stated in Senate Resolution of Both Houses 6,” Gonzales added.
