In an interview with the media, Remulla emphasized the importance of unity among leaders in advancing programs and initiatives for their constituents.
“We’ll accomplish way more for the people of Cavite and for the Philippines if the leadership all sticks together, siyempre kapag nagkakaisa, mas maraming naaaccomplish po talaga (of course, when we are united, we will accomplish more),” Remulla said.
“Though there are different factions in the Senate, it is more important na they come together for the betterment of the Philippines,” he added.
The local government unit of Kawit prepared a series of activities over the weekend to celebrate Independence Day, including a serenata series featuring local bands.
