House Majority Leader Ferdinand Alexander “Sandro” A. Marcos of Ilocos Norte on Tuesday said the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) has expanded its Common Legislative Agenda (CLA) to 52 measures after four additional bills—that include the proposed abolition of the travel tax—were adopted as priorities.

The move brings the original 48 LEDAC priority measures to 52, reflecting what he described as a sharpened focus on economic relief, digital accountability, child protection, and political stability.

“The LEDAC agreed to add four more measures to the agenda, bringing the total to 52. These are bills that respond to urgent and real concerns of the public,” Marcos said, who joined Speaker Faustino “Bojie” G. Dy III, Minority Leader Marcelino “Nonoy” Libanan of 4PS Party-list, and House Committee on Appropriations Chairperson Mika Suansing during the LEDAC meeting with President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. at Malacañang.

Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri, and Senators Sherwin Gatchalian and Risa Hontiveros also attended the event.

Among the newly added measures is House Bill (HB) No. 7443 filed by Majority Leader Marcos, which seeks to abolish the travel tax, a levy that has long outlived its purpose and now works against tourism growth and economic recovery.

“This is not just a policy tweak—this is a pro-people measure that supports jobs, tourism, and family travel,” Marcos said. “The data and public sentiment are clear. The travel tax now works against our economic goals.”

Aside from the abolition of the travel tax, Marcos said the LEDAC also elevated three other measures: Expanded Anti-Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Anti-Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM) Act of 2026; a bill addressing fake news and digital disinformation; and a proposal resetting the elections in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).

“These measures address threats that are already affecting our communities—from online abuse and disinformation to the need for stability in the Bangsamoro,” Marcos said. “They deserve priority action.”

He said placing the measures on the LEDAC priority list would accelerate their movement in Congress through close coordination between the House and the Senate.

“With its inclusion in the LEDAC agenda, we can move this forward in a more focused and coordinated way,” he said.

Marcos reiterated that the travel tax, imposed under Presidential Decree No. 1183 and retained under the Tourism Act of 2009, has become an unnecessary burden for Filipino travelers. The levy currently charges ₱2,700 for first-class and ₱1,620 for economy-class passengers.
