Majority Leader Ilocos Norte 1st district Rep. Sandro Marcos says the House of Representatives is ready to do its part in hastening the passage of measures in the expanded Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) list.

“We are prepared to do our part to ensure these priority bills move without delay,” the presidential son said on Tuesday, Feb. 10 following the LEDAC meeting that was held in Malacañang.

During the meeting that was presided over by President Marcos, the LEDAC expanded its Common Legislative Agenda (CLA) from 48 to 52 priority measures.

The four bills added to the list a sought to address online sexual abuse and child sexual abuse or exploitation materials (OSAEC/CSAEM), the proliferation of fake news and digital disinformation, the abolition of the travel tax, and the resetting of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) elections.

“These measures address threats that are already affecting our communities—from online abuse and disinformation to the need for stability in the Bangsamoro. They deserve priority action,” Rep. Marcos said.

He said placing the measures on the LEDAC priority list would accelerate its movement in Congress through close coordination between the House and the Senate.

“With its inclusion in the LEDAC agenda, we can move this forward in a more focused and coordinated way,” the majority leader said.

Earlier, Rep. Marcos vowed to push a faster and more disciplined pace in the House of Representatives to approve the LEDAC bills. He made this remark with just two years left under his father's term.

Rep. Marcos said the House intends to keep President Marcos’ legislative agenda on track, while sharpening its focus on reforms that immediately touch household food, health care access, classroom needs and social protection, areas he described as “where public service becomes most tangible".

The second-term congressman from Ilocos Norte gave special mention to the effort to scrap travel tax, as provided for under his House Bill (HB) No. 7443. The levy currently charges ₱2,700 for first-class and ₱1,620 for economy-class airline passengers.

He says the cost weighs heavily on families, diverting money that could otherwise go to basic household needs or be spent within the local economy.

“Removing it sends a clear signal that the government is serious about mobility, recovery, and competitiveness,” Rep. Marcos said.

He earlier bared that House Speaker Faustino "Bojie" Dy III and Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel "Migz" Zubiri expressed their support for the bill.
