Tiniyak ni Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez ang pangako ng Mababang Kapulungan ng Kongreso na tuparin ang kasunduan na naabot sa Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) para sa pagpasa sa 20 key administration measure bago matapos ang taong 2023.
“Upon the start of the 2nd Regular Session of the 19th Congress, I together with the rest of the members of the House of Representatives will continue our efforts in realizing the President’s vision to greatly improve the Philippine economy, to reduce the prices of everyday commodities, and to increase the purchasing power of every Filipino citizen,” sabi ni Romualdez sa gitna ng LEDAC meeting na pinangunahan ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. sa Malacañang.
“Rest assured that the House of the People will remain steadfast and committed to being partners of the Executive Branch to spur economic growth, alleviate poverty, augment healthcare services, and foster job creation for all Filipinos,” dagdag pa nito.
Sa pagpupulong ng LEDAC, kapwa nagkasundo ang Senado at Kamara na aprubahan ang kabuuang 20 priority measures bago matapos ang taon, kabilang ang dalawang panukalang idinagdag ngayong Miyerkules sa Common Legislative Agenda (CLA).
Ang dalawang karagdagang hakbang na ito— ang pagbabago sa Bank Deposits Secrecy Law (House Bill No. 7446) at ang Anti Financial Accounts Scamming Act (House Bill No. 7393) — na iminungkahi para isama sa CLA ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.

Sa 20 priority measures na dapat aprubahan bago matapos ang taon, 16 na ang inaprubahan ng Mababang Kapulungan ng Kongreso sa ikatlo at huling pagbasa sa First Regular Session.
Ang apat na natitirang hakbang ay ang National Rightsizing Program; Unified System of Separation, Retirement and Pension of MUPs; National Employment Action Plan at ang pag-amiyenda sa Anti-Agricultural Smuggling Act.
“Rest assured that we, in the House of People, will act on these pending three measures with careful dispatch,” ayon pa kay Romualdez.
