MANILA, Philippines - May kabuuang 291 na panukalang batas at resolusyon ang naihain ni re-electionist Sen. Loren Legarda sa 15th Congress.
Kabilang sa nasabing mga panukala ang kanyang Universal Healthcare Coverage Act na naglalayong mabigyan ng PhilHealth card kahit ang mga istambay at taong-grasa sa kalye upang masiguro ang kanilang kalusugan.
“We aim to finish the Universal Healthcare bill before the 15th Congress ends in June because this will ensure that the 25 million poorest Filipinos will have access to PhilHealth benefits,†wika ni Legarda, senatorial candidate ng Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC).
Kabilang din sa kanyang mga panukala ay para sa health, environment, women and children, welfare of Filipino workers, good governance at indigenous peoples.
“These are just among the measures that have been enacted into law, and in the next Congress, if reelected, I will not stop until we have accomplished the other measures, particularly on health and education, that would further protect and benefit Filipinos,†giit pa ni Legarda.
