Senator Christopher “Bong” Go filed ten of his priority bills at the Senate of the Philippines in Pasay City on 1 July 2025. His legislative agenda includes proposals to expand the Tertiary Education Subsidy, implement a PhilHealth ID Health Card system, regionalize the National Academy of Sports, and introduce a New Medical Technology Law. Other measures include the creation of the Department of Disaster Resilience, assistance for indigent jobseekers, an across-the-board wage hike, the establishment of Mental Health Offices in state universities and colleges (SUCs), the Rural Employment Assistance or TUPAD Bill, and the Magna Carta for Barangays. Go also stressed that the proposed ₱50 wage increase is not enough for Filipino workers.
