MANILA, Philippines – The House of Representatives under the 19th Congress passed a piece of legislation that would give President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. the power to eliminate redundant government agencies in the executive branch.
Under the approved measure, a committee on rightsizing the executive branch – led by the executive secretary as chairperson and budget secretary as co-chairperson – would be created to oversee the implementation of the law. Their role is to prepare an overall change management program to ensure a smooth transition among agencies involved.
The bill also provides for the retirement benefits and separation incentives of affected personnel who hold permanent appointments.
