SA 52 priority bills na isinusulong ng Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC), 18 na ang pinagtibay ng Kamara bago pa man sumapit ang Semana Santa, ayon kay House Majority Leader at Ilocos Norte Rep. Sandro Marcos.
Para kay Marcos, ang pag-apruba ng mga LEDAC priority measures ay hindi lamang pagpapakita ng magandang numero, kundi patunay na mababang kapulungan na pinamumunuan ni House Speaker Faustino Dy III, ay lubos na nakatutok sa takdang-gawain sa plenary session.
“The numbers show a working House, but more important than the numbers is what they represent: laws in progress, reforms taking shape and a chamber that has kept moving even under a crowded calendar,” sambit ng House majority leader.
“The House’s LEDAC record shows that the chamber has not allowed the session calendar to blunt its momentum on measures tied to economic reform, public services, education, governance and social protection,” dugtong ni Marcos.
Muling kinilala ng Ilocos Norte lawmaker ang mahalagang papel ni Speaker Dy sa pagtitimon sa Kamara — partikular ang mahigpit na pagtutok sa legislative work lalo’t mabilis na naaksyunan ang mga hakbang na dapat ipatupad dala ng Middle East crisis.
“We even passed the bill giving the President the power to reduce or suspend the excise tax on petroleum products, dahil ito ang kailangan ng ating mga kababayan: immediate relief from high fuel prices and the corresponding increases in the costs of basic goods, transport and other commodities,” ayon pa kay Marcos.
Kabilang sa naturang 18 LEDAC measures na naipasa na ng Kamara ang resetting ng first regular elections sa Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) na naratipikahan na sa bica; ang National Center for Geriatric Health bill, na nasa ilalim na ngayon ng conference committee; pag-amyenda sa EPIRA at pagpapalakas sa ERC; Waste-to-Energy bill; amendments sa Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education Act, gayundin sa Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations Act at National Building Code.
Ang Blue Economy Act; National Reintegration Bill; pag-amyenda sa Teachers Professionalization Act; pagpapalawig sa Estate Tax Amnesty Period; ang Department of Water Resources Bill; amendments sa Bank Deposits Secrecy Law; Travel Tax Abolition; Digital Payments Act; pag-amyenda sa Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act; ang Presidential Merit Scholarship Program; at amendments sa Biofuels Act.
Giit ni Marcos, “masigasig po ang inyong Kamara sa pagpasa ng mga prayoridad na panukala ng administrasyon. And so far, we are proud of what we have accomplished.”
