MANILA — Quezon City Vice Mayor Belmonte on Wednesday showed her support for President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s programs against illegal drugs, criminality, insurgency, poverty, and corruption, pledging to rally behind the administration’s advocacies.
Belmonte said she is proud to be part of the Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte-National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD-NECC), which consists of ordinary people who believe they can help bring positive change to the country.
“This was the organization that really worked hard for President Duterte. But if you notice who they are, they’re not personalities. They are just regular men and women who probably have personal experiences and they felt it would help change their experiences for the better,” Belmonte said.
She said that the MRRD-NECC is a testimony that people can really choose their leaders and it does not matter if they are from the grassroots.
“I love that. This is grassroots. It is for the grassroots, came from the grassroots, and expanded also because of the efforts of its grassroots leaders. They are all volunteers,” she said.
During the oath-taking ceremony of new members of the organization, Belmonte was also declared as the political adviser of MRRD-NECC QC chapter. (PNA)
