I am pleased to welcome Senator Chiz Escudero as the newly elected President of the Senate. This marks a significant moment in our legislative process, promising to enhance the cooperative dynamics between the House of Representatives and the Senate.
With Senator Escudero at the helm of the Senate, we anticipate strengthened alignment between our chambers, particularly in advancing the priorities of the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC). His leadership is crucial as we jointly tackle key measures vital for national development and progress.
I also look forward to productive collaboration with the Senate, especially following the election of Senator Francis Tolentino as Majority Leader, my Senate counterpart. I am excited to work with Senator Tolentino to push for important measures that can help uplift the lives of our people.
I am optimistic that under Senator Escudero’s guidance, Congress will take positive strides toward achieving the economic constitutional reforms advocated by the President. His extensive experience and proven commitment are invaluable as we endeavor to enact legislation that will benefit our country and its people.| via Kathleen Forbes
