Sa paggunita ng Araw ng Kagitingan, ating alalahanin ang mga bayaning Pilipino na nag-alay ng kanilang tapang, dangal, at buhay para sa kalayaan na ating tinatamasa ngayon. Ang kanilang sakripisyo ay patuloy na nagsisilbing ilaw at gabay sa ating pambansang pagkakaisa at katatagan.

Nawa’y magsilbi itong paalala na ang kagitingan ay makikita rin sa ating pang-araw-araw na gawain - sa pagiging tapat, makatarungan, at may malasakit sa kapwa. Sa ganitong paraan, patuloy nating naipapakita ang diwa ng kabayanihan para sa sarili at sa bansa.

Maligayang Araw ng Kagitingan.

He is risen!

Sa pagdiriwang ng muling pagkabuhay ni Hesus, ipinapaalala sa atin ang Kanyang sakripisyo na nagligtas at tumubos sa ating mga kasalanan - ang pinakadakilang patunay ng wagas na pag-ibig ng Diyos Ama para sa sangkatauhan.

Nawa’y hindi lamang tayo magdiwang, kundi isabuhay ang Kanyang halimbawa: maging ilaw ng pag-asa, pag-ibig, at kabutihan sa ating kapwa, sa salita at sa gawa, araw-araw.

Maligayang Linggo ng Pagkabuhay!

As a member and the representative of Speaker Bojie Dy, it is my honor to have attended the 4th Meeting of the Philippine Congress – Bangsamoro Parliament Forum (PCBPF) last March 24, 2026.

The PCBPF serves as a vital platform for strengthening coordination and collaboration between the Philippine Congress and the Bangsamoro Parliament, ensuring alignment of legislative priorities, harmonization of laws, and the continued advancement of peace, development, and inclusive governance in the Bangsamoro region.

As part of the meeting, we discussed key topics, including the finalization of the Rules of Procedure (ROP) of the PCBPF and its Joint Secretariat, legislative developments on the resetting of the first Parliamentary Elections in BARMM, and the creation of a province for eight municipalities in the BARMM Special Geographic Area, as well as the ceremonial turnover of the Final Report of the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II) - all crucial steps toward responsive governance and long-term development.

I remain committed to meaningful conversations that shape policy and direction - efforts that go beyond dialogue and translate into concrete action to strengthen institutions, empower communities, and foster a more inclusive and united future for the Bangsamoro and the entire nation.
