The newly elected leaders of the House of Representatives for the 20th Congress have declared a strong and unified commitment to work hand-in-hand with Speaker of the House Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez in shaping a legislature that truly represents and serves the Filipino people.

With Speaker Romualdez at the helm, House leaders—including deputy speakers, majority and minority leaders, and key officials—are setting the tone for a term marked by responsive, inclusive, and compassionate legislation. Their shared vision: to build a “House of the People” that not only passes laws but also uplifts lives, restores trust in governance, and places the Filipino at the center of every policy decision.

Among the key figures supporting this mission are Senior Deputy Speaker David “Jay-Jay” Suarez (Quezon, 2nd District) and Deputy Speakers Janette Garin (Iloilo, 1st District), Yasser Alonto Balindong (Lanao del Sur, 2nd District), Francisco Paolo Ortega V (La Union, 1st District), Jefferson Khonghun (Zambales, 1st District), and Kristine Singson-Meehan (Ilocos Sur, 2nd District), among others. Their roles will be pivotal in navigating legislative priorities and advancing key reforms.

Majority Leader Ferdinand Alexander Marcos (Ilocos Norte, 1st District) and Minority Leader Marcelino Libanan (4Ps Party-list) bring contrasting yet constructive voices to the floor—ensuring that debates remain robust and decisions are made in the best interest of all sectors of society.

The leadership roster also includes House Secretary General Reginald Velasco and House Sergeant-at-Arms PMGen Napoleon Taas (Ret.), who will ensure institutional order and operational efficiency within the chamber.

In his leadership message, Speaker Romualdez emphasized the House’s mission to legislate not only with intelligence but with empathy. “Our goal is not just to pass laws but to transform lives. We are here to listen, act, and deliver,” he said.

As the 20th Congress moves forward, this cohesive team of leaders promises to uphold transparency, push for pro-people policies, and strengthen democratic institutions—anchored on a collective desire to leave no Filipino behind.
