“It has been our dream to bring about a smarter House of Representatives, one that is equipped with the means by which we can effectively pursue evidence-based and people-oriented legislation in a timely manner. This morning’s signing of the MOA is an important step in the realization of this dream,” Romualdez said in his speech.
The House of Representatives on Tuesday vowed to pursue more evidence-based legislation after inking a memorandum of agreement with Ateneo de Manila University’s Department of Economics and Center for Economic Research and Development.
“While the state of national health emergency has passed, many of our people are still feeling the effects of the pandemic and its byproducts on the economy. The global economic prospects in the coming years are not all that bright either. These conditions make it imperative that the decisions we make actually result in improvement in the lives of many, if not all our people,” he added.
House appropriations panel senior vice chairperson Stella Quimbo backed Romualdez, saying the partnership will maximize the House’s already able think tank Congressional Policy and Budget Research Department.
