Dy confident House to pass more Ledac priority bills before yearend

House Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy III expressed strong confidence that the House of Representatives can pass more of the administration’s priority legislation before the end of the year, noting that many of the remaining measures are already in the advanced stages of the legislative process. In a video statement, Dy shared that several priority bills are already moving through Congress, including the proposed Cybersecurity Act, which is scheduled for second reading, while eight other measures are awaiting action by the Committee on Appropriations or the Committee on Ways and Means. “Marami sa natitirang priority bills ay nasa advanced stage na po ng ating legislative process,” Dy said. “Kaya hinihiling po sana natin sa ating mga counterpart sa Senado, na tulungan tayong maisabatas na ang iba pang mga bills bago matapos ang taon.” The Speaker said the House will continue prioritizing legislation that directly addresses the needs of ordinary Filipinos. “Patuloy nating bibigyan ng prayoridad ang mga panukalang direktang makatutulong sa mga Pilipino at sisiguraduhin nating masusi at timely ang pagtalakay sa mga ito.” Dy also emphasized the importance of close coordination with the Executive Branch, particularly the Presidential Legislative Liaison Office (PLLO), saying prompt agency feedback and the early submission of executive versions of proposed measures help speed up the legislative process. “Ang aming layunin ay makapagpasa ng mga batas na may tunay na pakinabang at mararamdaman ng bawat Pilipino.” In the Philippines, the passage of legislation aimed at improving the lives of citizens is an urgent issue. Areas such as economic disparity reduction, job creation, and infrastructure development are crucial policy domains directly impacting people's lives, and the swift enactment of bills is highly anticipated. Legislation to address the increase in overseas employment and stimulate the domestic economy is also drawing public attention.
