Eight priority measures of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. under the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) have reached advanced committee stages in the House of Representatives.
House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos said the bills have been approved by their main committees and are now awaiting funding-related comments from the appropriations panel.
The measures cover reforms in immigration, land use, education, social protection, MSMEs, and the proposed reset of elections in the Bangsamoro region.
Separately, administration ally Miro Quimbo backed a proposal to remove the travel tax, saying lower airfares could generate up to P22 billion in revenues despite an initial P7.5-billion loss.
Quimbo said the House is targeting passage of the travel tax bill, authored by Marcos, before the June break.
