TULOY ANG TRABAHO NG KAMARA

SA GITNA ng banta ng krisis sa Gitnang Silangan at ingay ng mga pabigat sa bansa na mga DDS suporter, 18 sa 52 prioridad na panukala ng administrasyon ang naipasa ayon sa rekord ng Legislativre-Executive Development Council (LEDAC) sa Mababang Kapulungan bago mag-Semana Santa.

Binigyan papuri ni Kin. Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” Marcos si House Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy sa agrisibong pagtutok sa trabaho upang maibsan ang matinding epekto sa pagtaas ng presyo ng langis sa pandaidigan pamilihan.

“A total of 18 priority measures already passed or moved to the bicam stage before the Holy Week break. 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,” ayon kay Sandro Marcos ng Ilocod Norte.

“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,” Marcos, a principal author of the measure, added.

Base sa House Committee on Rules’ tracking of LEDAC measures, ang 18 priority na panukala ay ang sumusunod:

1. Resetting the First Regular Elections in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, which has already been ratified in bicam.
2. National Center for Geriatric Health, which is now under conference committee.
3. EPIRA Amendments: ERC Strengthening.
4. Waste-to-Energy.
5. Amendments to the Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education Act.
6. Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations Act.
7. Amendments to the National Building Code.
8. Blue Economy Act.
9. National Reintegration Bill.
10. Amendments to the Teachers Professionalization Act.
11. Extension of Estate Tax Amnesty Period.
12. Department of Water Resources Bill.
13. Amendments to the Bank Deposits Secrecy Law.
14. Travel Tax Abolition.
15. Digital Payments Act.
16. Amendments to the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act.
17. Presidential Merit Scholarship Program.
18. Amendments to the Biofuels Act.

Base sa rekord ng Camara, halos lumampas sa inaasahan ng listahan ng LEDAC ang natalakay at naapubrahan. From July 28, 2025 to March 18, 2026, the Bills and Index Service recorded 8,705 House bills filed and 927 resolutions filed, broken down into 905 House resolutions, 5 House joint resolutions, 13 House concurrent resolutions, and 4 resolutions of both Houses, for a total of 9,632 measures filed and 233 committee reports filed.

Para kay Marcos, “those figures matter because they tell a story larger than raw volume, as the House’s output should be read not only as a count of paper moved from one stage to another, but as proof that the chamber under Dy’s leadership has kept its legislative machinery running at a pace equal to the demands of the session.”
