Aklan 2nd district Rep. Teodorico Haresco Jr. has expressed support for neophyte lawmaker Ilocos Norte 1st district Rep. Sandro Marcos who was recently elected House senior deputy majority leader.

"Rep. Sandro Marcos’s election as Senior Deputy Majority Leader fits President Bongbong Marcos’s action-laden SONA to a tee,” Haresco said on Friday, July 29.
Haresco, who was a House member from 2010 to 2016 and then from 2019 until the present day, praised Rep. Marcos's skills as a newbie lawmaker.
“Sandro surprised all of us – his peers with his intellect and oratorical skills sponsporing Speaker Martin Romualdez, his former principal. I just knew him all these years as a humbly smiling and organizing special assistant of then-Majority Leader Romualdez. Back then, one can easily see Rep. Sandro as a gem with his presence of mind and positivity,” the former House Committee on Economic Affairs chairman explained.
As senior deputy majority leader, Marcos will serve as a vice chairman on the powerful House Committee on Rules. He is second to majority floor leader and Zamboanga City 2nd district Rep. Mannix Dalipe.
