A new chapter has begun in the House of Representatives as Isabela 6th District Rep. Faustino "Bojie" Dy III officially took the helm as the new Speaker on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
Rep. Dy's elevation to the highest position in the lower house comes after a decisive vote, where he secured a commanding 253 votes. The election saw 28 members abstain from voting, with zero negative votes cast, reflecting a strong show of confidence from his colleagues.
He succeeds Leyte 1st District Rep. Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, who had served as Speaker. The transition marks a significant shift in the leadership of the House, and observers are now watching to see the priorities and direction the new Speaker will set for the 19th Congress. Rep. Dy, a veteran legislator, brings a wealth of experience to the role, and his tenure is anticipated to focus on key legislative reforms and national development initiatives.
