However, Escudero also underscored that this transition in leadership should not overshadow pressing national issues. He emphasized that unresolved concerns should remain at the forefront of public discourse. "This transition, however, should not distract us from the unresolved issues surrounding past budgets and infrastructure anomalies. Leadership changes must lead to institutional reform, not selective amnesia," he added, stressing the importance of accountability.
