Palace: Anti-dynasty bill still Marcos Jr. priority“That remains the President’s wish – to have this anti-political dynasty bill passed during his term and under his administration,” Palace press officer Claire Castro said at a media briefing.
MANILA, Philippines — The anti-political dynasty bill remains one of the Marcos administration’s priority measures even though President Marcos did not mention it in his fifth State of the Nation Address (SONA), Malacañang said yesterday.
Education reformsMeanwhile, Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian pledged the Senate’s continued support for education and economic reforms outlined by President Marcos in his SONA, saying the administration’s commitments must translate into lasting improvements for Filipino families.
Approved on Tuesday were Senate Bill 1991, or the Agriculture and Fisheries Extension Act, and SB 1990, the Agricultural Cooperatives Act.
The Agricultural Cooperatives Act, meanwhile, seeks to reestablish the Bureau of Agriculture Cooperatives to strengthen agricultural cooperatives and improve farmers’ and fisherfolk’s access to financing, equipment and markets.
