00:00President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. was called to the Senate and Congress
00:04and he was able to pass the 17 priority bills.
00:09These people are trying to increase the number of Filipinos living.
00:15That's what Kenneth Paciente said.
00:19To ensure the well-being of Filipinos,
00:22President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. insisted that the government should continue
00:28to pass the priority bills of the current administration.
00:32In fact, President R. Marcos Jr. encouraged the two members of Congress
00:36to pass the bill before the end of the year
00:40to increase the number of Filipinos living.
00:44To our fellow workers in both the Houses of Congress,
00:47I implore that before the year end,
00:50that laws which are more inclusive, responsive, and people-centered to be passed.
00:56And we are deep in discussion about that.
01:01Our people are eagerly awaiting the passage of the 17 priority bills
01:05certified by LEDAC, which we will be discussing very, very soon,
01:09which if passed and enacted will steer our national development
01:13and improve the conditions of our fellow countrymen.
01:17So let's continue to collaborate and work closely on these matters.
01:21The administration's work was confirmed following the President's signature
01:25in the Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act
01:29as part of the priority bills of the government
01:32and included in the Common Legislative Agenda.
01:34The purpose of the law is to speed up the automation of services
01:38provided by government agencies
01:40for the proper tax collection that, according to the President,
01:43will help in increasing the national revenue,
01:46generating jobs, and housing in the Philippines.
01:50The President's commitment is now the time for a new valuation system.
01:55A law that streamlines and enhances the real property valuation and assessment system
02:01through a uniform real property appraisal that is compliant with international standards.
02:07It also adopts the prevailing market value
02:10as the single real property valuation base for the assessment of real property tax.
02:17Under this, the LGUs' services will be changed
02:20through the Real Property Information System
02:23for the up-to-date electronic database of real property transactions and declarations
02:28across the country.
02:30The President also passed the Negros Island Region Act
02:33where the provinces of Negros Occidental,
02:37as well as Bacolod City,
02:38Negros Oriental, and Siquijor in one region,
02:41will join the Negros Island Region or NIR.
02:44According to the President,
02:46the implementation of this law is now in progress,
02:48especially since the Negros are located on the same island
02:51but are governed by different administrative regions.
02:54The government's service to the migrants continues to be delayed
02:58due to the slow and unequal progress.
03:01For decades now,
03:02migrants have endured the rigors of sea travel,
03:05unnecessary expenses,
03:07bureaucratic red tape,
03:08inefficiency that this arrangement has brought.
03:12Especially when there is a need to urgently access government services
03:17from regional centers on other islands.
03:21Equally glaring is the uneven growth and disparity of funding
03:28between the two provinces,
03:29which share many of the same natural resources and industries
03:33such as sugar, tourism, renewable energy.
03:36The government will also push for the NIR to be the center of the development of Visayas
03:40by accelerating socio-economic development
03:44and providing resources, investment, and effective economic planning.
03:48Indeed, in unity there is always strength.
03:50And that is what we are building.
03:53And I trust that the people of the newly established Negros Island Region
03:57will work together to complement each other's strengths
04:00to build a more united and flourishing Negrense community.
04:06And this is something that the national government
04:09will have to play a very large part in.
04:12And we pledge that assistance
04:14so that we can bring this new region up to speed as quickly as possible.
04:20According to Negros Occidental 3rd District Rep. Kiko Benitez,
04:24it is important for them to establish the president of the separate administrative region.
04:30Under this, the government's services will be closer to the people
04:34and the development of the area will be faster.
04:37President Marcos Jr. encouraged the government agencies
04:41to implement the new laws
04:44so that the public can feel the benefits of them.
