Nagpaabot ng pagbati si Albay 1st district Rep. Edcel Lagman kay Deputy Speaker Ralph Recto matapos ang naging pagkatalaga nito bilang bagong kalihim ng Department of Finance (DOF).
“I warmly congratulate Deputy Speaker Ralph Recto on his appointment as Secretary of Finance,” ani Lagman sa isang pahayag nitong Biyernes, Enero 12.
“He brings with him a vast knowledge and experience in financial and economic matters,” dagdag pa niya.
Inihayag din ng mambabatas na umaasa siyang lalabanan daw ni Recto ang mga pagtatangkang alisin ang “nationalistic provisions’ ng Konstitusyon sa bansa.
Recto, pinanumpa ni Marcos bilang DOF secretary
“I hope that as a grandson of the great nationalist Claro Mayo Recto, he would resist attempts to do away with the nationalistic provisions in the Constitution which were enshrined to preserve and protect Philippine patrimony from alien control and domination,” saad ni Lagman.
Matatandaang nitong Biyernes nang manumpa si Recto para sa naturang posisyon sa DOF.
