House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco’s New Year Message

As we close the chapter on the year 2020, may we look back and be grateful for the things that we still enjoy and have. As House Speaker, together with your duly-elected Representatives, we did our best to pass timely and relevant laws to alleviate the plight of our people during these trying times. Rest assured we will continue to do so in the coming new year.

I also join the entire nation in hoping that an affordable, safe and effective vaccine against COVID-19 will arrive in the Philippines at the soonest time possible. Having a safe and effective vaccine available to Filipinos is currently the best way for us to beat the virus.

Let us all look to the coming year with renewed hope and inspiration. From all of us here in your House of Representatives, we wish you all a blessed and joyous New Year!
