President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has instructed Congress to prioritize four major reform measures aimed at increasing government transparency, strengthening political accountability, and reshaping the country’s electoral system.
During a meeting of the Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) on Monday morning, Marcos directed lawmakers in both the House of Representatives and the Senate “to take a closer look at the four bills, and prioritize their passage as soon as possible.”
The measures are:
• Anti-Dynasty Bill – seeking to limit the concentration of political power within families.
• Independent People’s Commission Act – intended to create an independent body to address pressing national concerns.
• Party-list System Reform Act – aimed at tightening qualifications and restoring the original intent of the party-list system.
• Citizens Access Disclosure of Expenditures for National Accountability (CADENA) Act – a transparency measure requiring full disclosure of government spending.
The President’s directive signals an effort to push long-standing political reforms that have stalled in previous administrations, raising expectations for a more accountable and inclusive governance framework.
