Newly elected Senate President Francis Escudero wants the upper chamber to keep embracing the digital age, advocating for the digitization of all legislative records, including laws enacted before 1987.
“It’s crucial that we digitize not only the laws from 1987 onwards, but also earlier legislation,” he emphasized. Escudero also directed the development of a tracking system or app for at least 100 major laws, such as the Labor Code, National Integrated Protected Areas System Act , Intellectual Property Law, and Local Government Code, to allow easier tracking of amendments.
Since his election as Senate President, Escudero has been conducting comprehensive visits across Senate offices to address the needs of employees and enhance operational efficiency.
