House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez on Thursday reported that the chamber has accomplished nearly all of its legislative commitments under the Marcos administration, approving 27 out of 28 priority measures identified by the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC).
In a meeting with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in Malacañang, Romualdez emphasized the House’s solid performance in the 19th Congress, calling it a reflection of their dedication to addressing the real needs of Filipinos.
“As of today, we have acted on 27 out of the 28 LEDAC priority bills—a near-100% accomplishment rate,” Romualdez said. “These are not just bills—they are real solutions to real problems.”
Among the measures already greenlit by the House are the National Water Resources Act, reforms to the Military and Uniformed Personnel Pension System, and the Single-use Plastic Bags Tax Act. These bills are now awaiting further action in the Senate.
The Palace was also informed that 11 of the approved measures have already been signed into law by the President, including the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act, the Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act, the VAT on Digital Transactions law, and the revised Government Procurement Reform Act. One additional bill lapsed into law.
The only priority bill yet to be passed by the House is the proposed amendment to the Agrarian Reform Law. Several other measures—such as the Blue Economy Act and updates to the Universal Health Care Act—are still undergoing committee deliberations.
Romualdez reassured the President of the House’s ongoing dedication, especially as Congress prepares to resume session in June. “Rest assured of our unwavering commitment to enacting key legislation that will bring tangible improvements in the lives of the Filipino people,” he said.
