THE two-chamber Congress – the House of Representatives and the 24-member Senate – would do well to speed up the passage of President Marcos’ priority measures.
Actually, these are the 52 priority measures of the powerful Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC), which are under consideration in Congress.
In fact, 12 of the 52 proposed pieces of legislation have been approved on third and final reading in the House of Representatives under Speaker Francisco “Bodgie” Dy of Isabela.
House Majority Leader Alexander A. Marcos said the measures reflect “a sharpened focus on economic relief, digital accountability, child protection and political stability.”
Marcos said placing the 52 measures on the LEDAC priority list would accelerate their movement in Congress, through close coordination between the House and the Senate.
“We are prepared to do our part to ensure these priority bills move without delay,” said the lawmaker from Ilocos Norte.
The young Marcos vowed to push a faster and more disciplined pace in the House of Representatives to approve the LEDAC measures.
As expected, House members will prioritize LEDAC measures on agriculture, health, education, and social welfare.
The LEDAC legislative measures include the proposed Magna Carta for Barangays, the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill and the Party-list System Reform Act.
The immediate passage of the 52 LEDAC priority legislative measures is, without doubt, a move in the right direction.
