“Sa akin, ang alam ko, tuloy pa rin. An agreement is an agreement. A gentleman’s agreement is a gentleman’s agreement.  Based on the gentleman’s agreement, I will see you next year as the next Speaker of the House.”

“I really don’t want to comment talaga, but that’s still so early. It’s only November. Next year pa naman ‘to sa October. So right now, we’re just focused on working, especially me as being the energy chairman again, focusing lang po on passing laws that I believe makakatulong po na maibaba yung kuryente natin at makatulong sa ating kababayan.” ~ Allan Velasco

Tinawag na desperado ni Deputy Speaker at Camarines Rep. Lray Villafuerte ang mga kaalyado ni Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Jay Velasco napinalalabas na may maraming supporters si Velaco para makaupong speaker.

Ayon kay Villafuerte, nililinlang Lito Atienza at Oriental Mindoro Rep. Doy Leachon si Pangulong Duterte sa kanilang pahayag na maraming kaalyado si Velasco.

Para naman kay Laguna 1st District Rep. Dan Fernandez, nagdo-double talk ang mga kaalyado ni Velasco partikular si Atienza, matapos nitong sabihin na insulto sa pangulo ang hindi pagbototo sa Marinduque solon bilang speaker pero dati ay tinawag nitong mga tuta ng pangulo ang mga bumoto upang hindi mare-new ang prangkisa ng broadcast giant na ABS-CBN.
