South Cotabato Governor Reynaldo S. Tamayo, Jr. has finally reacted on the decision of 2nd District Representative Peter Miguel to sign the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte, emphasizing that the move does not represent the collective voice of South Cotabateños.
"Nalulungkot ako dahil ang naging desisyon ni Cong. Peter Miguel ay hindi ang boses ng South Cotabateños. Kung sana ay pinakinggan niya muna ang boses ng ating mga kababayan dito sa kanyang distrito," Governor Tamayo stated.
The governor expressed his concern over the widespread frustration among South Cotabateños regarding Miguel’s decision.
"Bilang ama ng probinsya, ramdam ko ang galit at pagkadismaya ng ating mga kababayan sa kanyang naging desisyon," he added.
Cong. Peter Miguel has been under fire in recent days for his decision to sign the complaint, drawing backlash from many South Cotabateños and Duterte supporters who took to social media to express their disappointment.
Governor Tamayo stressed the fundamental responsibility of public officials to consult their constituents before making significant political decisions. He underscored that leaders must put the people's interests above personal or partisan considerations.
"Isa itong babala sa lahat ng ating mga lider – dapat nating pakinggan ang boses ng ating mga kababayan," he asserted. "Sa susunod, maging maingat tayo sa mga desisyong maaaring makasakit sa damdamin ng ating mga kababayan. Dapat ding isaalang-alang ang kanilang opinyon."
Governor Tamayo also emphasized the earlier statement of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. that an impeachment trial against the Vice President is untimely and will not benefit the Filipino people. He echoed the President’s sentiment that public officials should focus on addressing pressing national concerns instead of engaging in divisive political actions.
Governor Tamayo reaffirmed that elected leaders have a duty to serve with transparency and accountability, ensuring that every decision aligns with the welfare of their constituents.
"Dapat palaging inuuna ang kapakanan ng ating mga kababayan sa bawat desisyon na ating gagawin," he emphasized. "Nandito tayo bilang mga lider upang isulong ang boses ng South Cotabateños, hindi ang ating pansariling interes."
He urged Representative Miguel to carefully evaluate his future decisions, ensuring they genuinely reflect the aspirations of the people he represents.
"Sana ang kanyang mga desisyon ay kumakatawan sa kagustuhan ng nakararami, dahil siya ay representante ng South Cotabato sa Kongreso," Gov. Tamayo concluded.
Governor Tamayo, known for his inclusive and people-centered leadership, continues to advocate for unity, transparency, and governance that prioritizes the welfare of South Cotabateños. His firm stance underscores his commitment to ensuring that the voices of his constituents remain at the forefront of policymaking and governance.
