Nagbigay ng komento si Sen. Bam Aquino sa utos ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. na madaliin ang pagpapasa ng Senado at Kamara sa apat na panukalang batas sa ilalim ng kaniyang legislative order, kabilang na ang Citizens Access Disclosure of Expenditures for National Accountability (CADENA) Act.
Sa ibinahaging social media post ni Sen. Bam nitong Martes, Disyembre 9, sumakto pa umano ang utos ng Pangulo sa paggunita ng “Anti-Corruption Day.”
“We welcome the President’s move to prioritize the passage of our proposed Citizens Access Disclosure of Expenditures for National Accountability (CADENA) Act,” panimula ni Sen. Bam.
“Tamang-tama rin na inanunsiyo ito ng Malacañang sa Anti-Corruption Day, dahil ang CADENA-Blockchain the Budget Bill ay naglalayong wakasan ang korapsyon, palakasin ang transparency, at tiyakin ang tunay na pananagutan sa paggamit ng pondo ng bayan,” dagdag pa niya.
Tiniyak din niyang sila ay magtatrabaho upang tuluyang maisabatas ang CADENA Act, na layong tapusin ang korapsyon sa gobyerno, at siguruhin ang transparency sa pamahalaan.
“Magtatrabaho tayo upang maisabatas ang CADENA Act para matuldukan ang katiwalian sa pamahalaan at matiyak na nagagamit sa tama ang buwis ng taumbayan,” aniya.
Pinasalamatan din ng mambabatas ang Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) sa inklusyon ng Classroom-Building Acceleration Program (CAP) Act, Party-list Reform Act, at Anti-Political Dynasty Act sa mga prayoridad na panukala.

Taliwas sa reaksiyon ni Sen. Bam, ikinadismaya naman ni Mamamayang Liberal Partylist Rep. Atty. Leila de Lima ang aniya’y legislative orders ni PBBM na hindi man lang “certified as urgent.”
“While we welcome the pronouncement from President Marcos Jr. about certain measures that he thinks Congress should prioritize, we remain disappointed that the proposed IPC/ICAIC Bill and Anti-Political Dynasty Bill were NOT certified as urgent,” saad ni De Lima.

Samantala, nagpahayag din si Executive Secretary Ralph Recto patungkol sa priority measures na ibinaba ng Pangulo.
“The presidential request for congressional action on the four bills goes beyond their immediate passage, but for wide consultation with all sectors, so the best ideas can be incorporated in this reform legislation. Given the importance and urgency of these bills, the invitation to participate in their crafting should be extended to groups of all political persuasions,” ani Recto.
