Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri on Saturday said the upper chamber was expected to approve key priority measures of the Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) a week before the 19th Congress would sine die adjourn.

The priority measures are the Trabaho Para sa Bayan Act, the Regional Specialty Centers Act, and the Maharlika Investment Fund Act, which has been certified urgent by Malacañang.

“And now that our Senate committees have really gone into full swing, and been churning out more measures for plenary deliberations, then we can look forward to an even more productive Second Regular Session,” the Senate President. “I am proud to say that the Senate has performed very well for the First Regular Session, which typically tends to have a slow start in any Congress, because we are essentially starting from scratch and studying all of the bills anew,” the Senate President said.

Three bills are pending conference committee, including the act Standardizing and Upgrading the Benefits for Military Veterans and the One Town, One Product Act. “We know that there is a lot more work to be done, and we are committed to seeing the rest of the priority bills through, as soon as we come back,” Zubiri said.
