The House of Representatives has approved on third and final reading 12 or more of the 40 priority measures identified by the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (Ledac).
House Majority Leader Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” Marcos said the approval capped a productive first regular session, during which 7,030 bills and 645 resolutions were filed, 86 measures were passed, and 584 were processed in just 22 session days.
Among the approved bills are measures on waste-to-energy, amendments to the Electric Power Industry Reform Act, the Blue Economy Act, the National Center for Geriatric Health, the AICS Act, and the creation of a Department of Water Resources.
Five other priority bills are at the committee level awaiting funding review, while 15 more are under technical working group and committee deliberations.
The remaining 17 Ledac measures, including proposals on cybersecurity, anti-political dynasty, digital payments, and anti-money laundering, have been docketed for committee action.
