Senator Idol Raffy Tulfo gave President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. an excellent rating for his first year in office.
Ahead of PBBM’s second State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 24, Tulfo said: “He is doing an excellent job.”
Tulfo praised the President for securing a lot of commitment and investment pledges, and gaining possible investors that are beneficial for the country’s economy and will create many jobs for Filipinos, during his foreign trips.
Tulfo is positive that these investment pledges will benefit the country and the Filipinos in the long run, and that his upcoming SONA will give the Preisident an opportunity to make known to the public the extent of his commitment borne from his diplomatic trips abroad.
Sen. Idol also took notice of PBBM’s good qualities as a leader, saying that the President does not blame his predecessor for the problems he inherited from previous administration unlike other leaders before him, and that PBBM knows how to move forward by not holding grudges against his political rivals.
He likewise lauded PBBM for prioritizing the welfare of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), saying, “buhos ang suporta ni BBM para sa mga kababayan nating OFW.”
In highlighting PBBM’s support for OFWs, Tulfo recognized the President for the recent pardon of three convicted OFW in the United Arab Emirates, two of whom are in death row.
It can be recalled that PBBM was the one who appealed to UAE President Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan for the freedom of three convicted OFW through two letters sent in late April.
