Congratulations to my dear friend and former colleague in the Senate, Deputy Speaker Ralph Recto whom I know personally as hardworking, intelligent, good economist, and most of all, caring.
As the new Secretary of the Department of Finance, I believe Sec. Recto could be the best person to implement President Bongbong Marcos, Jr.’s economic programs with determination and confidence.
As a legislator, the contribution and legacy of Sec. Recto in promoting economic reforms to improve the lives of every Filipino could not be underestimated.
He has been open-minded to listen and weigh different sides in complex matters.
I will support the economic reform measures and programs that the Marcos administration will push for the welfare of the entire country. Good luck!
