Sa kabila ng pagtupad ng Kamara sa constitutional mandate na aksiyonan ang mga inihahaing impeachment complaints, tiniyak ni House Majority Leader Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” Marcos na nananatiling maayos at produktibo ang House of Representatives.

Ayon naman kay Deputy Speaker Paolo Ortega V, hindi naging sagabal ang proseso ng impeachment sa pagpapatuloy ng pag-aakda at pag-apruba ng mahahalagang panukala alinsunod sa direksyong itinakda ni House Speaker Faustino “Bojie” Dy III.

“The impeachment process is a constitutional duty that we take seriously, but it is only one of many responsibilities of the House. Amid a packed legislative agenda, House Majority Leader Marcos took the lead in securing the approval of vital measures, acting on the guidance of Speaker Dy. We remained focused on our work—passing priority measures, protecting public welfare, and ensuring that the legislative agenda continues to move forward,” ani Ortega.

Kabilang sa itinulak ni Rep. Marcos ang dalawang pangunahing panukala:

  • House Bill (HB) No. 7432 – No Work, No Pay for Members of Congress Act
  • HB 7443 – Travel Tax Abolition Act of 2026

“These measures reflect a strong commitment to public accountability and economic growth. By ensuring that lawmakers are held to clear standards of performance while easing the burden on travelers, Majority Leader Marcos has advanced reforms that benefit both governance and the broader economy,” dagdag ni Ortega.

Sa kabila ng pagproseso ng impeachment, nagpatuloy ang Kamara sa pag-apruba ng mahahalagang panukala:

  • HB 6676 – Energy Systems Storage Act
  • HB 7239 – Line Workers Insurance and Benefits Act
  • Mga panukalang nagdedeklara ng mga pambansang paggunita tulad ng National Line Workers, Appreciation Day, Philippine Veterans’ Month, at iba pa
  • Mga panukala para sa kaligtasan ng publiko at lokal na holiday bills

Pinagtibay din ng Kamara ang mga resolusyon ukol sa pakikiramay sa pagpanaw ni dating Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., pagkilala sa iba pang dating mambabatas, at sa mga atletang Pilipino at institusyon na nagbigay karangalan sa bansa.

Ayon kay Rep. Ortega, malinaw na nananatiling disiplinado at nakatuon sa pamamahala ang Kamara, habang ginagampanan ang tungkulin nito sa ilalim ng Konstitusyon.
