Nagsama-sama ang mga kongresista na tinaguriang Young Guns ng Kamara de Representantes sa pagtatanggol kay PBA Partylist Representative Migs Nograles, na pinaratangan ng pamumulitika sa pamamahagi tulong ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) ni Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte.
“We, the Young Guns, stand united in our support for Rep. Migs Nograles. Her work in ensuring that the DSWD funds reach those most in need is beyond reproach. This unfounded criticism only serves to distract from the real issues at hand and undermines the efforts of those truly working for the welfare of our citizens,” ayon kay Rep. Jil Bongalon ng Ako Bicol Partylist.
Sinabi naman ni Rep. Cheeno Almario ng Davao Oriental: “It is clear that Rep. Nograles’s actions have been misrepresented. The notion that she is using these funds for political gain is not only false but an insult to her dedication to public service.”
“We urge Rep. Duterte to check his facts and perhaps attend more sessions to fully grasp the complexity of our roles and the stringent processes we adhere to,” ayon kay Almario.
Binigyan diin pa ni Almario, “Rep. Duterte’s claims are not supported by the facts. The DSWD’s records and the transparency of fund allocation speak for themselves. Rep. Nograles’s efforts should be commended, not condemned. Let us work together to ensure that aid reaches those who need it most, without the distraction of baseless accusations.”
“If Rep. Duterte attended more sessions and engaged with his colleagues, he would see the transparency and rigor with which we operate. Rep. Nograles has done nothing but uphold the highest standards of integrity in her work. We must not let baseless accusations distract us from our primary mission of serving the people,” ayon pa sa mambabatas mula sa Davao Oriental.
Paliwanag naman ni Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong, “The DSWD’s distribution of aid is based on need and urgency, not on political favoritism. Rep. Nograles has consistently demonstrated her commitment to this principle. We must focus on constructive dialogue and collaboration rather than unfounded accusations that serve no one but personal agendas.”
Nakikiisa rin si Adiong sa paninindigan ng kaniyang mga kasamahan sa pagtatanggol kay Nograles: “We, the Young Guns, know firsthand the tireless work that Rep. Nograles puts into her role. The accusations leveled against her are baseless and detract from the critical work being done to support our most vulnerable citizens. It is vital that we remain focused on our legislative duties and avoid the pitfalls of political maneuvering.”
Sa panig naman ni Rep. Rodge Gutierrez ng 1-Rider Partylist, “Rep. Migs Nograles has always placed the needs of her constituents above all else. Her dedication to ensuring that DSWD funds are allocated fairly and efficiently is a testament to her commitment to public service. These unfounded accusations from Rep. Duterte only serve to undermine the hard work of those truly dedicated to helping the poor and needy.”
Dagdag pa ni Gutierrez, “The attacks on Rep. Nograles are not only baseless but also counterproductive. Her efforts to secure and distribute DSWD funds are in line with her unwavering commitment to public service. Rep. Duterte should be more aware of the facts before making such serious accusations.”
Sinabi naman ni Rep. Paolo Ortega ng La Union, “Rep. Migs Nograles’s track record speaks for itself. Her integrity and dedication to public service are evident in every action she takes. It is disappointing to see her work questioned by those who may not fully understand the processes and challenges we face.”
Habang sa panig ni Rep. Jay Khonghun ng Zambales sinabi nito na “Our focus should be on cooperation and effective governance, not on political squabbles. Rep. Nograles’s dedication to her constituents and her transparent handling of funds are commendable. We, the Young Guns, stand with her and call for a return to constructive discourse.”
Giit pa ni Khonghun, na mas mauunawaan ni Duterte ang paglaaan at distribusyon ng pondo kung aktibo siya sa pagdalo sa mga talakayan sa Kamara.
“Had Rep. Duterte been more active in House sessions, he would have appreciated the complexities of fund allocation and distribution. Rep. Nograles has always been transparent and accountable in her actions. We must move past these baseless accusations and focus on serving our constituents effectively.”
