President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. directed Congress to prioritize four proposed legislative measures during a Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) meeting held in Malacañan Palace on Tuesday.
President Marcos asked Congress to prioritize the Anti-Dynasty bill; Independent People’s Commission Act bill; Party-list System Reform Act bill; and the Citizens Access and Disclosure of Expenditures for National Accountability or CADENA Act bill that seeks to institutionalize transparency and accountability on public finance.
“In a LEDAC meeting this morning, the President also instructed both Houses to take a closer look at the four bills and prioritize the passage as soon as possible,” Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro announced.
Also present during the LEDAC meeting were Senate President Vicente Sotto III, House Speaker Faustino Dy III, Majority Leader Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” Marcos, and other congressional leaders.
Castro said the LEDAC also agreed on the timelines for the passage of the 2026 General Appropriations Act and the submission of the bill for the President’s signature. | PND
