SA ikalawang pagpupulong ng Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC), iniulat ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez na aprubado na sa Kamara ang 27 sa 28 na panukalang batas na nasa ilalim ng Common Legislative Agenda (CLA).
Pagtitiyak ni Romualdez, determinado ang Kamara pagtibayin ang isa pang naiwanang panukala bago matapos ang ikatlong regular session ng 19th Congress sa Hunyo.
“As of today (Thursday), we have acted on 27 out of the 28 LEDAC priority bills—a near-100% accomplishment rate,” wika ng lider ng House of Representatives.
Dumalo sa naturang pagpupulong sina Senate President Francis Escudero, mga miyembro ng gabinete, at mga pangunahing lider ng Kongreso, sa pangunguna ni House Majority Leader Mannix Dalipe.
“This milestone reflects the House’s unwavering commitment to President Marcos’ call for legislative action that makes a difference in the lives of ordinary Filipinos. These are not just bills—they are real solutions to real problems,” dagdag ni Romualdez.
Binigyang diin rin ng Leyte solon na suportado ng Kamara ang mga mahahalagang reporma para sa Bagong Pilipinas.
Base sa status report, 12 panukala mula sa 27 LEDAC measures ang naisabatas na, kabilang ang: New Government Procurement Reform Act, Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act, Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act, VAT on Digital Transactions, Academic Recovery and Accessible Learning Program Act, Self-Reliant Defense Posture Revitalization Act, Philippine Maritime Zones Act, Philippine Archipelagic Sea Lanes Act, CREATE More, Enterprise-Based Education and Training Framework Act, at amyenda sa Agricultural Tariffication Act.
Ang panukalang amyenda sa EPIRA ay naging batas na noong Abril 18, habang ang Capital Markets Promotion Act ay naipadala sa Office of the President noong Abril 29 para sa lagda ng Pangulo.
Kasalukuyang nasa conference committee deliberation ang sumusunod: Blue Economy Act, amyenda sa Universal Health Care Act, Open Access in Data Transmission Act, E-Governance Act, Rationalization of Mining Fiscal Regime, at Foreign Investors’ Long-Term Lease Amendments.
Naipasa na ng Kamara sa ikatlo at huling pagbasa at naipadala sa Senado ang mga sumusunod: National Water Resources Act, amyenda sa Right-of-Way Act, National Citizens Service Training Program Act, Military and Uniformed Personnel Pension System Act, Water Treatment Technology Act, Single-use Plastic Bags Tax Act, Revised Government Auditing Act, at Immigration Modernization Act.
Sa 28 LEDAC bills, tanging ang panukalang amyenda sa Agrarian Reform Law ang hindi pa natatapos ng Kamara.
Sa kabuuang 64 LEDAC measures mula nang magsimula ang ika-19 na Kongreso, 61 ang naaprubahan ng Kamara de Representantes.
Tatlong panukala na lamang ang natitira. Ito ang National Defense Act, Budget Modernization bill, at amyenda sa Agrarian Reform Law.
Samantala, pinaninindigan ni Speaker Romualdez ang pananatiling tapat ng Kamara sa layuning ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. na magpasa ang mga batas na magpapabuti sa araw-araw na pamumuhay ng mga Pilipino.
“Mr. President, since the beginning, the House of Representatives has remained steadfast in its efforts towards the passage of the identified LEDAC CLA priority measures,” aniya.
“As Congress resumes session on June 2, rest assured of our unwavering commitment to enacting key legislation that will bring tangible improvements in the lives of the Filipino people,” pagtatapos ni Romualdez. (ROMEO ALLAN BUTUYAN II)
