MANILA, Philippines- Upang mabigyang impormasyon ang publiko ukol sa mga panukalang batas na tinatalakay ng Kongreso, inilunsad ng Senado at Kamara ang e-Congress website (eCongress.gov.ph).

Sa nasabing online portal makikita ang impormasyon ukol sa mga panukalang batas na naihan, nasa deliberasyon at mga naipasa.

“We acknowledge the potential of e-governance in facilitating prompt and efficient delivery of public goods and services. An effective communications system amplifies the capacity of government organizations, ensures greater transparency, and deters corruption. It also serves as a mechanism for public information to promote citizen engagement in policy-making,” paliwanag ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

“Legislation should be relevant, responsive and timely not only to support the government’s target outcomes but also to raise the quality of public service.To carry out this crucial role, it is imperative that both Houses of Congress exercise constant collaboration, coordination, and sharing of information towards people-centered legislative governance,” dagdag pa nito.

Sumang-ayon naman dito si Senate President Miguel Zubiri, aniya, mainam na mayroong access ang publiko sa mga mahahalagang batas na tinalakay ng Kongreso at malaki ang maitutulong kung mayroong website na pwedeng agad na pangsaggunian.

“We can’t be a Congress that is irrelevant. We have to be dynamic and forward looking. it is the only way we can genuinely be responsive to our people’s needs. The eCongress will streamline the legislative process and lead to more efficient passage of laws, and will give the public a more accessible platform where they can keep track of our work, as it is their right to do so,” pagtatapos ni Zubiri. Gail Mendoza
