TATLONG buwan bago ang itinakdang ultimatum, ganap na pinagtibay ng Kamara de Representantes ang 19 na priority measures na isinusulong mismo ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
Sa ulat ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez sa Palasyo, ipinagmalaki ng lider ng Kamara ang ciento-por-ciento approval sa lahat ng panukala batas na nasa talaan ng Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC).
Kasabay ng ulat sa Palasyo, muling tiniyak no Romualdez ang patuloy at mas pinatibay na suporta ng Mababang Kapulungan sa layunin ni Marcos na mapabuti ang buhay ng mga mamamayang Pilipino.
“Mr. President, rest assured that you will have our continued support in our goal for a brighter, better Philippines for our countrymen,” pahayag pa ni Speaker Romualdez.
Sa kanyang ulat sa ginanap na LEDAC meeting sa Malacañang, taas-noong inihayag ni Romualdez ang katuparan ng pangakong ipasa lahat ng 19 LEDAC priority measures – at higit na mas maaga kesa sa itinakdang petsa.
“Mr. President, we have done our homework and all the 19 measures re-prioritized for target by June 2024 have been approved on the third and final reading by the House of Representatives,” pagmamalaki pa ng House Speaker.
Partikular na tinukoy ng lider-kongresista ang 19 LEDAC measures kabilang ang:
- Philippine Ecosystem and Natural Capital Accounting System
- Negros Island Region
- Philippine Maritime Zones Act
- Amendments to the Anti-Agricultural Smuggling Act
- Philippine Defense Industry Development Act (PDIDA)/Self-Reliant Defense Posture Act

“This clearly shows that this present House of the People is a proactive chamber that caters and listens to the needs of the people passing needed legislation attuned to the Philippine Development Plan and the 8-point Socio-Economic Agenda under the Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF) of His Excellency PBBM,” ani Romualdez.
Iniulat din niya na ang Kamara ay naaprubahan ang tatlo ring LEDAC priority measures, kaya naman mula sa 59 bills sa updated list ay 56 bills na ang kanilang naipasa.
“I am honored to report that the House of Representatives is working hard towards realizing the common legislative agenda of the executive and legislative branches,” sabi pa ni Speaker Romualdez.
“Truly, this is a testament to the zeal and commitment of the members of the House of Representatives in passing our common legislative agenda.”
