Speaker Martin Romualdez on Tuesday said Congress would prioritize laws for stronger national defense and expanded access to education and healthcare when the second regular session of the 19th Congress resumes on April 29.“As we embark on another session this April 29th, our legislative focus sharpens on the dual imperatives of national security and robust development," said Romualdez during the New Initiatives to Grow Business in the Philippines forum.
As for education, Romualdez said Congress would push for a more liberalized system that meets global standards and equips the youth with the necessary skills to thrive, including provisions for an enhanced digital infrastructure.“The relationship between peace, security, and development is not linear but cyclical and self-reinforcing. By strengthening peace and security, we create an environment conducive to economic activities and development initiatives.
