Marcos wants travel tax repeal, dynasty bill by JuneMANILA, Philippines — President Marcos is pushing for the passage of 21 priority measures by June, including bills banning political dynasties, abolishing the travel tax and penalizing disinformation, as his administration seeks to rebuild public trust and improve the daily lives of Filipinos. Marcos endorsed the measures during yesterday’s meeting of the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC), which consists of key executive officials and congressional leaders. Marcos also backed the abolition of the travel tax, a bill filed by his son, Ilocos Norte Rep. Sandro Marcos, saying the move would help reduce travel costs and boost tourism. Castro said the President recognized that people travel not only for leisure but also for work or emergencies. Aside from the 21 priority measures, LEDAC also discussed 31 other bills under its common legislative agenda, covering land use, taxation, health, education, governance reforms, digitalization, economic regulation and other key policy areas.
