Press Release
26 January 2021
Thank you, Mr. President, Majority Leader, colleagues. Magandang hapon.
Given the uncertainties and fears brought by the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the anxieties and worries of the rising food prices, this representation would like to welcome the decision of the Department of National Defense, through its Secretary, Secretary Lorenzana, to hold a dialogue with the University of the Philippines on the termination of the 1989 UP-DND Accord.

Gaya ng ginawa nating mga hearing sa Covid management at vaccine roll-out, at maging ang naka-schedule na hearing sa darating na Lunes tungkol sa mataas na presyo ng pagkain, dialogue at pag-uusap ang pinakamahusay na paraan sa paghahanap ng mga solusyon sa mga problema sa usaping ito, ang mga na-raise na issue ay kapayapaan, seguridad, kalayaan, at kahusayan.
