Govs welcome Villar take-over Senate leadership, appeals for more responsive legislature

Gov. Rosette Y. Lerias
Southern Leyte

As the governors welcome the nomination of Sen. Manuel Villar as Senate President, they expect it to usher in a more responsive legislature.

In a resolution sponsored by Gov. Rosette Y. Lerias of Southern Leyte, the league underscored the need for “a more responsive Senate to prevent legislative gridlock in governance, and promote political stability in the country.

It may be recalled that Villar, upon assuming the Senate presidency, said that “the Senate must address its collective wisdom to pursue the ends of national development in partnership with the executive branch and all concerned sectors of the Philippine society.”

Villar has also acknowledged that the Senate need not be adversarial in order to be independent and has underscored the executive branch’s need for legislative support to implement its programs aimed at improving the quality of life of the Filipinos.

The league has appealed to the Senate, under the leadership of Villar, to facilitate the passage of significant legislations and promote political stability in the country. (AJS)
