The House of Representatives has approved on third and final reading 12 out of the 48 Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) priority measures of President Marcos, according to House majority leader and Tlocos Norte Rep. Sandro Marcos.

“Under the leadership of Speaker (Faustino) Bojie (Dy), we wanted the first months of the 20th Congress to send a clear signal that the House is serious about delivering on the LEDAC,” Representative Marcos said ina statement yesterday.

The younger Marcos said the LEDAC scorecard crowns a busy first regular session that saw 7,030 bills and 645 resolutions filed, 86 measures approved and 584 measures processed by the House committees and the plenary in just 22 session days.

“This signifies the hard work and unity of House members in passing these vital pieces of legislation,” the lawmaker-son of Marcos added, saying they have put the President's reform agenda “at the center of the chamber’s work in the first regular session of the 20th Congress.”
