KIKO PANGILINAN PROPOSES REGULAR MEETINGS BETWEEN HEADS
OF HOUSE AND SENATE TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE LEGISLATIVE REFORMS

Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan envisions well-coordinated efforts between Congress and Senate in the 15th Congress.

"I would propose weekly coordination meetings between officials of both Houses to speed up the legislative mill and shorten the time to produce laws, and convening of the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council monthly for tighter coordination between the Legislative and the Executive departments."

Pangilinan adds that proper coordination does not mean that check and balance will be compromised.

"I believe that everyone in the 15th Congress want to see genuine reforms for our country. I believe it will be what unites us."

"We need legislative activism to effect much needed reforms in the next six years. The 15th Congress must be proactive, creative, and dynamic in coming up with solutions to problems that continue to hound our nation. We need to hit the ground running and address issues of poverty, job creation, ending pervasive corruption, ending armed conflicts, and engaging public-private sectors in government efforts. "

"We must show the Filipino people that we mean business. They want results. They do not want political infighting or the usual horsetrading and the mindless and bankrupt politics that come with it. We cannot let our people down."
