'House passed 166 laws since 2022'

The high legislative output of the House of Representatives, with 166 laws produced, has been hailed by the "Young Guns" group of neophyte lawmakers.

"The numbers speak volumes about the commitment of this Congress to making a difference," the bloc of first-term lawmakers said.

"From the filing of 13,454 measures to the enactment of 166 Republic Acts, this is a testament to the hard work, dedication and unwavering focus of all 307 House members on addressing the needs of the Filipino people," they said.

With all but one of the priority measures under the Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council passed, the lower chamber has been passing an average of five bills per month for the last 29 months.

This is six months short of the 19th Congress' three-year span, which will end on June 30 this year.
