MANILA -- Lilibeth Romero, the long-time partner of filmdom’s beloved icon Eddie Garcia, hailed the passage of the "Eddie Garcia Act" on final reading by the House of Representatives as his greatest trophy and gift to the entertainment industry.
Romero’s son, House Deputy Speaker and 1-Pacman Party-list Representative Michael "Mikee" Romero, is one of the authors of the bill which aims to protect and promote the welfare of workers and independent contractors in the film, television and other allied sectors in the entertainment industry. In her full statement released to ABS-CBN News, Romero said the bill’s passage had mitigated their family’s loss.
"My heartfelt thank you to those who painstakingly investigated Eddie’s fatal accident -- chairman, Committee on Labor Cong. Eric Pineda, Deputy Speaker Mikee Romero, Cong. Raymond Mendoza, Cong. Toff de Venecia, Cong. Rufus Rodriguez and all the members of the HOR, the resource persons from the different entertainment guilds and organizations.
