MANILA — Senior Deputy Speaker Rep. Ferdinand Hernandez said Thursday that rising confidence in the House of Representatives reflects the chamber's commitment to legislative work and public service under Speaker Faustino Dy III.
Hernandez cited improved trust and performance ratings as evidence that the House's prioritization of its core functions is resonating with Filipinos. He described the uptick as an encouraging sign that the public's perception of the legislative body is shifting positively.
The statement underscores the current House leadership's emphasis on productive lawmaking as a means to restore institutional credibility. Hernandez's remarks suggest that the focus on substantive legislative output, rather than procedural or political matters, has been key to rebuilding public confidence in the chamber.
The House of Representatives has faced persistent public scrutiny regarding its productivity and responsiveness to constituent concerns. The reported improvement in ratings indicates the current leadership believes its approach of concentrating on legislative priorities is addressing longstanding perceptions of inefficiency or misalignment with public interests.
