New
Congress urged
to
become strategic partner for national development
It
is time for the country to move forward and seize
the moment.
LPP president and reelected Bohol Gov. Erico B.
Aumentado appealed to the newly elected members
of the 14th Congress to go beyond partisan politics
and become a strategic partner of the executive
department in its high growth course.

In
a press statement issued by Aumentado on behalf of the league,
he urged the new set of national legislators to “reject
the politics of hate and obstructionism that had helped turn
our country from a post-war powerhouse into an Asian basketcase.
He said that democracy has triumphed and the candidates vested
with the electoral mandate have prevailed, thus it is time
to bury the hurt and hate and move forward.
“Let us seize the moment, specifically the unprecedented
growth on the Arroyo watch – marked by 24 quarters of
non-stop expansion of our economy – that has made the
Philippines the new investment darling in the region.
He said that for the country to continue its unprecedented
growth in the last six years, it should remove the last remaining
roadblock of hate and divisive politics.

With
Congress working together, it can craft policies and legislation
in support of Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s “8
by ’08 Agenda” of social payback to the masses
and enhance the solid growth fundamentals her leadership put
into place in the last six years.
Aumentado lamented that there are some sectors engaging in
hate and divisive politics who prefer to have a country that
is backward, chaos-stricken rather than a tiger of prosperity
and a haven of political stability and lasting peace.
“Let us give them a fair warning: for our country and
our people, please cease and desist for pursuing such adventurism
and infantilism. Let the provinces, cities and municipalities
prosper. Let the countryside bloom. Let President Arroyo take
us into our new dawn.” (AJS)
