Ipinaliwanag ni House Deputy Speaker Cebu 5th district Rep. Duke Frasco kung bakit tumanggi siyang pirmahan ang manifesto na susuporta para sa patuloy na pamumuno ni Speaker Martin Romualdez sa darating na 20th Congress.

"On May 14, just two days after the 2025 local elections, I was asked to sign a manifesto supporting the continued leadership of Speaker Martin Romualdez in the 20th Congress. I have not signed the manifesto, and after careful reflection, I have decided not to," saad ni Frasco sa isang Facebook post nitong Lunes, Hunyo 9.

Giit pa niya, hindi na aniya nasusunod ang panawagang "unity" ng pamahalaan ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos, Jr.

"In recent weeks, I have spoken with my colleagues in Congress, local leaders - especially from the Visayas and Mindanao - and most importantly, with my own constituents. A shared frustration has emerged. There is deep disappointment that the unity our people once hoped for has been steadily undermined by political and personal interests," saad ni Frasco.

"The President has consistently called for unity, stability, and a government that delivers meaningful change. I firmly believe that the House of Representatives should reflect these values, not only through the laws we pass, but also in the leadership that we uphold. Our duty as public servants is not to advance individual interests, but to serve the Filipino people. And as the President himself has said, the people have spoken, and they expect results, not politics," dagdag pa niya.

Kaugnay sa kaniyang desisyong hindi na suportahan ang pamumuno ni Romualdez, aniya: "This decision is not about creating further division. I simply believe the House of Representatives can, and must, do better. We should be a partner in building the country up, not a platform for further discord."

"At this critical time in our nation, I believe we need leadership in the House that unites rather than divides. Leadership that reinforces our shared vision and strengthens the path forward for our country."
