MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, July 8 (PIA) -- Senator Paolo Benigno "Bam" Aquino IV committed to draft legislation that will push for inclusive growth.
In his message during the 54th Araw ng Lanao del Sur on July 4, he gave assurance that his policies and programs will benefit all areas of the country so that the progress will be felt by all Filipinos.
He said his legislative agenda will focus on policies that support education, employment and enterprise.
Aquino also explained why he spent his first days as a Senator visiting provinces.
“Eto po ay para alamin ano ba ang pangangailangan ng taong bayan, kung paano ba pwedeng magtulungan ang legislative department at mga executives upang makapagdala ng kaunlaran (This is to find out the needs of the people and how can the legislative department and the executives work together to bring progress),” he said.
He further emphasized the importance of knowing the best ways of collaboration between lawmakers and local government leaders before filing bills.
“May mga pagkakataon po na meron mga batas at polisiya na hindi naman na-iimplement ng local government units o kaya hindi doable at measurable sa mga local executives (There are instances that some laws and policies are not implemented by local government units or not doable and measurable for local executives),” he added.
Partnership between lawmakers and local executives should be solid and complete, he said.
With that, he told the people of Lanao del Sur that he and Governor Mamintal Adiong Jr. will closely work together to bring progress to the province.
And this partnership, he assured, will be for good governance.
