Rep. Bernadette Herrera is advocating for stronger provisions in the 2025 General Appropriations Act to support solo parents. Proposed benefits include seven-day paid parental leave for contractual workers, priority access to free higher education for children, and subsidized PhilHealth premiums. Herrera highlighted gaps in the Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act, calling for equitable access to benefits for vulnerable sectors. These enhancements aim to alleviate challenges faced by solo parents and their dependents.
