Senate President Francis Escudero has called on the Office of the Solicitor General to take a more active role in shaping legislation, highlighting its responsibility to defend laws in the Supreme Court .
The Senate President suggested that the OSG’s early involvement in the legislative process could help prevent constitutional challenges. Escudero proposed regular consultations with the OSG to provide legal insights on pending legislation. He said this approach would help craft laws that are robust and less likely to face legal obstacles.
In addition to its legislative advisory role, Escudero emphasized the importance of the OSG in handling foreign policy and international disputes. He advocated for the OSG to actively file cases that seek recognition of foreign judgments or arbitral rulings favorable to the Philippines.
