Eight brave and principled lawmakers have filed House Resolution No. 1076 to express their firm, resolute, and unequivocal rejection of any attempt or initiative to amend the 1987 Philippine Constitution through a Constituent Assembly under the present circumstances.

Spearheading this legislative stance to safeguard the nations fundamental law are Representatives Paolo Z. Duterte, Omar Vincent S. Duterte, Isidro T. Ungab, Harold James T. Duterte, Paolo Henry M. Marcoleta, Robert Nazal, Francisco "Kiko" A. Barzaga, and Leandro Legarda Leviste. They note that the resolution aligns with the overwhelming consensus found in an independent national survey by Pulse Asia Research Inc, which showed that nearly nine out of ten Filipinos oppose Charter change at this time.

The resolution warns that any attempt to rush a constitutional rewrite under the shadow of a political crisis is inherently susceptible to self dealing and threatens to open the floodgates of corruption. It strongly denounces reported backroom initiatives aimed at extending the terms of incumbent officials until 2031, altering candidate qualifications for the 2028 elections, or utilizing a constitutional rewrite as a political contingency tool. Furthermore, the lawmakers point out that proceeding with such an initiative is completely impractical, given that the Commission on Elections has already declared it unfeasible due to the lack of a 19 Billion Peso appropriation required for a national plebiscite.

Most importantly, the resolution serves as a reminder to fellow public servants to reaffirm their sacred commitment to the sovereign Filipino people. Specifically, it urges them to never support any measure that undermines the democratic process and to uphold the constitutionally scheduled 2028 national elections without any deferments.

The House of Representatives has officially passed House Bill No. 8869 on its third and final reading. The measure, which substituted the original House Bill No. 453, was principally authored by Representative Omar Vincent Duterte.

The "Free Professional Examinations Act" seeks to institutionalize free professional examinations for qualified indigent examinees, as well as members of Indigenous Peoples (IPs) and Indigenous Cultural Communities (ICCs).

Under this legislation, examination fees will be waived for the following:

1. Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) licensure examinations

2. Civil Service Commission (CSC) examinations for government employment eligibility

3. Supreme Court of the Philippines Bar Examinations

By removing financial barriers to entering these critical professions, this legislation aims to promote equal employment opportunities and ensure that financial limitations never prevent deserving Filipino graduates from becoming licensed professionals.

Assalamu alaikum.

Today, I stand with every Filipino Muslim family as we celebrate Eid al-Adha.

This day is a powerful reminder of what faith and sacrifice really mean. For us as a nation, it reflects the hard work and selflessness that ordinary Filipinos put in every day just to lift their families and communities up.

Here in Davao, this hits close to home. We Dabawenyos are known for our tight discipline and integrity. Today, we bring those traits forward as a reflection of our deep devotion: our obedience to the will of Allah, and our love for our Country. When we stay disciplined and look out for one another, we make our nation stronger.

Let this celebration bring us closer together, no matter our background. May Allah accept our prayers and sacrifices, and may we always stay united in serving God and country.

May the blessings of Allah be with you and your family on this sacred day.

Isn’t it more democratic to allow an individual chosen by millions of voters to cast his vote, regardless of the political circumstances?

Just an honest question, not a statement.

- Rep. Omar Duterte

Standing together in times of trial. Following the fire incident at Purok 8, Brgy. Lapu-Lapu, Agdao District on May 24, the Office of Cong. Omar Duterte immediately distributed food packs to the affected families and individuals.

Mapasalamaton ta nga walay kinabuhi nga nakalas, ug magpabilin tang magkauban taliwala sa kalisod.

Kaisa ang Office of Congressman Omar Duterte sa naganap na RAGE-Mindanao Coalition sa Davao City.

Isang karangalan ang tumayo kasama ang mga kapwa Mindanawon na may iisang mithiin: malinis, etikal, at makatarungang serbisyo para sa ating bansa.

Representatives Paolo Duterte and Omar Duterte have filed a bill establishing a national development program for the country's ube industry. The said measure aims to directly address the challenges faced by local purple yam farmers amid a massive surge in global demand for the crop.

The Representatives have seen that the international market presents an extraordinary economic opportunity for the country; however, they also deemed that local growers are heavily constrained by high production costs, weather disruptions, and fragmented supply chains.
To resolve these pressing bottlenecks, the proposed bill seeks to introduce critical structural interventions. Under the said measure, the government will set up regional ube seed banks and tissue-culture nurseries to give smallholders a reliable supply of healthy planting materials. The programs also integrated an export brand protection framework to safeguard the name and quality of authentic Philippine ube against foreign imitations in global trade. Furthermore, the proposed bill aims to optimize the value chain by directly linking farmer cooperatives with major food processors so that local growers can secure better prices and bypass exploitative middlemen.

Through this measure, Representatives Paolo and Omar Duterte emphasize their commitment to transforming agricultural crops such as ube into a sustainable national enterprise. The Representatives maintained that by implementing an official development program, the government can finally ensure that the benefits of the global market boom go straight to the hard-working agricultural communities.
