MANILA — A total of 7,030 bills and 645 resolutions were filed in 22 session days during the first regular session of the 20th Congress, House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos reported.

In a news release, Marcos said 86 measures, including 12 endorsed by the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC), have been approved, while 584 remain pending in various committees and in the plenary.

“The LEDAC priorities serve as the spine of the chamber’s reform workload,” Marcos said. “Under the leadership of Speaker Bojie Dy, we wanted the first months of the 20th Congress to send a clear signal that the House is serious about delivering on the LEDAC. This signifies the hard work and unity of House members in passing these vital pieces of legislation.”

Marcos noted that the House has already transmitted one national law to the President—the PHP6.793-trillion 2026 General Appropriations Act—and has generated 52 adopted resolutions, while 32 House-approved bills await Senate action.

Of the 48 priority LEDAC bills, 12 have passed final reading. These include amendments to the Electric Power Industry Reform Act, the Waste-to-Energy bill, the National Center for Geriatric Health, amendments to the Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education Act, the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations Act, the Blue Economy Act, and others.

Five other LEDAC measures have cleared their main substantive committees and await the input of the Appropriations and Ways and Means panels. These include a bill modernizing the Bureau of Immigration, the National Land Use Act, creation of the Independent People’s Commission, the Presidential Merit Scholarship Program, and amendments to the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act.

Fifteen LEDAC items are under technical working group or committee deliberations, covering measures on excise taxes on single-use plastics, amendments to the Universal Health Care Act, Rice Tariffication Law, Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, classroom-building acceleration, disaster risk financing insurance, Right to Information, and others.

The remaining 17 LEDAC measures are already docketed for committee deliberation. These include amendments to the Coconut Farmers and Industry Trust Fund Act, the general tax amnesty bill, proposed law on online gambling, Cybersecurity Act, Digital Payments Act, Anti-Political Dynasty bill, and Party-list System Reform Act, among others.

Marcos said the House will continue prioritizing measures on social protection, health, education, and good governance as it resumes session on January 26.

“LEDAC is not a separate track from the people’s priorities. These are the same bills that touch classrooms, hospitals, barangay halls, rice prices and jobs,” he said.
