Mayor Sara says Hugpong to respect term-sharing agreement between Velasco, Cayetano
Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte and her party, Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP), have voiced their support for the term-sharing agreement between Speaker Alan Cayetano and Marinduque Representative Lord Allan Velasco.
Mayor Duterte met with Velasco, who sought her assistance in securing the votes of three HNP representatives from the Davao Region.
HNP affirmed its commitment to uphold the term-sharing deal as directed by President Duterte.
The party also expressed its full support for Presidential Proclamation 1027, which calls for a special session of the House of Representatives.
The President's call for a special session came after Speaker Cayetano moved to approve the 2021 budget on second reading and subsequently suspended sessions, leaving deliberations on the budgets of several agencies incomplete.
