House spokesperson Princess Abante said the chamber received 11,506 House bills and 2,361 resolutions.

Of these, 347 resolutions were adopted and 1,493 measures were approved by the House—280 of which have already been signed into law.

"I'm happy to report that the House of Representatives is now one of the most productive Congresses in history," she said at a press conference.

The House has also approved on third and final reading 27 out of the 28 Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC)-endorsed priority bills.

Furthermore, under the broader Common Legislative Agenda (CLA), the chamber successfully passed 61 out of 64 measures, which underscores the House's efficiency and alignment with the administration's development goals.

However, 739 measures remain pending before the Senate for third reading approval.

"These are not ordinary bills. They are urgent reforms sought by sectors across the country. They are solutions to the most pressing challenges faced by Filipino families, workers, students, seniors and OFWs," said Abante.
