Rep. Frasco ‘di sumuporta kay Romualdez, pinatalsik ng NUP
MANILA, Philippines — Pinatalsik na ng National Unity Party (NUP) sa kanilang partido si Cebu Rep. Vincent Franco “Duke” Frasco bilang miyembro matapos hindi lumagda sa manifesto ng suporta para magpatuloy pa ang liderato ni Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez sa 20th Congress.
“The party leadership has decided to expel Duke (Frasco) from the NUP because his unilateral decision not to support Rep. Martin’s continued stay as Speaker in the next Congress is a blatant breach of the NUP’s official position of unequivocal support for the Speaker to keep his premier post in the next Congress,” pahayag ni NUP President at Camarines Sur Rep. Luis Raymund “LRay” Villafuerte matapos hindi makiisa si Frasco sa stand ng kanilang partido.
“Given that this has been the unanimous stance of our party, Duke’s one-man decision to withdraw support from the Speaker runs counter to the NUP’s official manifestation of support for Congressman Martin—and means his status as a member of our party has become untenable,” punto ni Villafuerte.
Sinabi ni Villafuerte na dapat ay ipinaabot ni Frasco sa NUP na kontra ang kaniyang posisyon sa nais ng partido sa halip na nag-ingay ito sa publiko at sa media magbigay ng pahayag.
“It’s a long-standing policy of the NUP for all of us to speak and act as one. Going to the media to publicly oppose our party position, especially without prior consultation with any of our party officers, is punishable with expulsion from the NUP”, ayon pa kay Villafuerte.
Ayon kay House spokesman Atty. Princess Abante, hindi sapilitan ang paglagda sa manifesto at okey lang kung ito ang desisyon ng Cebu solon.
Sa kasalukuyan, aniya ay nakakalap na sila ng 285 mambabatas na sumusuporta sa liderato ni Romualdez.
