00:00House Speaker Faustino D. III is paying heed to the President's wishes and the public at large on which bills are tops on the House's legislative agenda going forward.
00:11To be sure, the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill, the proposed Partialist Reform Act, empowering the ICC further, and one more which aligns with the Freedom of Information Acts, should all be prioritized as our Mela Lismores dwells on in this report.
00:26In line with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marquez, Jr., House Speaker Faustino Bojidi III ensured that the House of Representatives will prioritize the proposed reforms to the country's Partialist System.
00:42During the recent meeting of the Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council, or LEDAC, the Partialist System Reform Bill, which came into discussion over the last two weeks, is among the administration's priority bills.
00:54Ito po ay hindi lamang listahan ng mga batas. Ito po ay malinaw na mensahe na nais ng Pangulo na may balik ang integridad, katarungan, at tunay na representasyon ng ating pong papumulit kang sistema.
01:11At kasama dyan ang Partialist System, isang mekanismong original na ginawa para sa mga sektor, lalong-lalong na po sa sektor ng mga manggagawa.
01:24Prior to this, Speaker D, together with House Majority Leader Sandro Marcos, also filed their own version of the Anti-Political Dynasty Bill, which is among the government's priority measures.
01:35According to House Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Reforms Chair Zia Alon to Adyong, they in the committee will thoroughly discuss this along with other similar proposals.
01:44Iba talaga pag may na-filed yung House version because that would mean the commitment of the leadership to push this measure as a priority.
01:53But as to the finality, the final version that would be carried out by the committee, that would depend on the result of the discussion and would be decided upon by the committee as a whole.
02:06For now, the most important measure remains the proposed 2026 national budget.
02:11The start of the bicameral conference committee or BICAM deliberations has been delayed by a few days.
02:17But House Committee on Appropriations Chair Michaela Swan Singh explained that they needed adequate time to prepare, especially since this will be the first time in history that the BICAM will be live-streamed.
02:27Well, mataas ang expectation ng publiko dito sa BICAM na ito. May mga pangako ng transparency.
02:37Hopefully, yung delay ay hindi nangangahulugan na mayroong mga behind-the-scenes negotiations na nag-agganap.
02:43Maybe there's a good reason kung bakit nadidelay. Kasi syempre, baka mayroong pang kailangan na mga i-prepare ng mga documentation.
02:51Kasi syempre, hindi ganun kadali ron.
