The officers and members of the Philippine Councilors’ League is fully supportive of President Duterte and his administration.
This was the assurance made by newly-elected PCL chairman of the board Councilor Danilo Dayanghirang.
“The 16,500-strong members of PCL coming from 1,400 towns and cities in the country have signified support to the continuing campaigns of the Duterte administration against corruption, crime and violence,” Dayanghirang told reporters during the regular Kapehan sa Dabaw in SM City on Monday, April 3.
He added that the PCL already passed a resolution last week signifying support to the priorities and advocacies of the President, including the current efforts for federalism.
“PCL’s support is vital in order to gain achievements in the programs and projects of the present administration,” Dayanghirang said, adding that a big group, like PCL can influence political decisions of the national leadership and at the same time, can do changes through legislations.
He said PCL can also advocate and gather support to the major programs and projects of the government.
“PCL will rally behind President Duterte, his administration and its priority programs and projects,” Dayanghirang reiterated.
When asked about the organization’s stand on the postponement of the conduct of barangay elections, Dayanghirang said they are set to conduct consultations on the issue to their members.
Newly-elected officers of PCL took their oath of office before President Duterte on April 1 in Pasig City.
Narvacan, Ilocos Sur Councilor Luis “Chavit” Singson was newly-elected national chairperson of PCL.
