Malacañang on Friday said both chambers of Congress have committed to prioritizing the passage of key legislative measures identified by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., following discussions during the latest Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) meeting.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said four priority bills were highlighted during the meeting: the National Government Rightsizing Program, amendments to the Right-of-Way Act, amendments to the Cooperative Code, and the proposed National Disease Prevention and Management Authority.
“The House and Senate gave their commitment to push these measures forward,” Castro said.
She noted that the National Government Rightsizing Program, which aims to streamline government operations by eliminating redundant or overlapping functions, has already passed the House of Representatives and is now pending in the Senate.
“If passed into law, it will enhance public service delivery by reallocating resources to agencies that need more support,” Castro said.
The proposed reforms are part of the Marcos administration’s efforts to improve bureaucratic efficiency and ensure better delivery of public services.
