MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) got the television sets promised by the House of Representatives leadership as a Christmas gift, Ako Bicol party-list Rep. Elizaldy Co said on Tuesday.
“I think it’s a very bad example because what we must practice would be to respect, first of all, the presidency, no matter who the president is. We’ve done that, my party and I have done that all these years. I think the president deserves more respect than that,” Sotto said in an interview with Inquirer’s INQside Look on Tuesday.
In San Juan City, MWF was hosted by San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora, the San Juan City Council, and San Juan City Representative Bel Zamora.
In a statement before the year ended, Co said the television sets promised by him, House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, and Tingog party-list Rep. Yedda Marie Romualdez during the Christmas party at the PCMC last December 12 were delivered already.
