Panawagan ni Speaker at AIPA President Faustino “Bojie” G. Dy III sa parlyamento na siguraduhin ang limang taong kooperasyon

KASABAY ng ika-49 taong anibersaryo ng ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA), nanawagan si Speaker at AIPA President Faustino “Bojie” G. Dy III sa parlyamento na siguruhin na ang halos limang taon na kooperasyon ay mauuwi sa malakas na institusyon at konkretong pagpapabuti sa buhay ng mga taga- Southeast Asia.

“Our work must ultimately be measured not by the meetings we hold, but by the difference we make in the lives of our people,” ani Speaker Dy. 

“I have always believed that public trust is earned not through declarations, but through credible laws, trusted institutions, and results that improve people’s lives. That same principle must guide AIPA.”

Ang AIPA ay nagsimula sa Manila may 49 taon ng nakakalipas, ng ang parlyamento ng Indonesia, Malaysia, Pilipinas, Singapore, at Thailand ay nagbuo ng ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly or AIPA.

Mula sa limang founding parliaments, winelcome nito ang Timor-Leste bilang ika-11th Member Parliament sa ginanap na 47th AIPA General Assembly sa Manila ngayong November. Dalawampu’t anim na Observer Parliaments ang inaasahang dadalo.

“Forty-nine years ago, five founding parliaments chose to build one boat rather than sail alone. Today, that journey continues. One balangay, one vision, one destination,” pagtatapos ni Dy.
