We must attend to the welfare of ordinary government workers,” Go said in a statement. The Senate and the House of Representatives will jointly open as 18th Congress on July 22. Go said he was looking forward to the monthly “mini” Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (Ledac) meetings to facilitate the passage of priority measures of the Duterte administration and the Congress. Go said Sotto believes that if the Senate and House leaders could meet once a month and discuss their respective priority bills, approving the proposed laws “would be easier as they would be on the same page.”
