AYAW nang pag-usapan pa ni DUMPER PTDA party-list Rep. Claudine Diana Bautista ang mga pamba-bash na natanggap niya bunsod ng magarbo niyang kasal pero bahala na aniya ang mga abogado na sumagot sa kanyang mga kritiko.
“I will no longer indulge in the statements by people of influence against me as I will leave it up to my legal team to address this,” ani Bautista sa kalatas.
Imbes, inisa-isa ni Bautista ang nagawa niya sa mga driver ng mga pampublikong sasakyan, ang sektor na kanyang nirerepresenta.
”People have been questioning my public service record when in reality, during the pandemic, we were able to help vaccinate 18,000 PUV drivers, we provided assistance through DSWD, DOLE-TUPAD, and DOH all around the country, we advocated for the immediate release of financial assistance for PUV drivers by filing a House Resolution and worked to ensure that the deadline for consolidation of PUVs is extended,” aniya.
“To address the effects of the pandemic, in my personal capacity, I also made sure that more than 1.1 million grocery packs, PPEs, free insurance policies, and relief assistance are distributed to affected PUV drivers and commuters. From my personal funds, I have donated P3 million to doctors and nurses to ensure that their tireless sacrifice is recognized,” dagdag niya.
Inamin naman ni Bautista na nalulungkot siya dahil naging “political spectacle” ang kanyang kasal.
“My husband has been planning this special day with me for years even before the pandemic, and it pains us to see how things after our wedding turned out. This was supposed to be the culminating event of a decades-long love story. My husband is a kind and loving person and all he wanted was to give me the wedding of my dreams. We both found many of the comments heartbreaking. This celebration of our love was a product of my husband’s hard work,” paliwanag niya.
Si Bautista ay anak ni Hugpong ng Pagbabago president at Davao Occidental Gov. Claude Bautista at pamangkin ni Davao Occidental Rep. Lorna Bautista-Bandigan.
