isabled individuals are part of the Philippine society who must be treated, not equally as other common members of the community, but in special manner of conferring upon them their dignity and worth as human beings. They should enjoy the same fundamental rights as others, most primarily to enjoy living a decent life and accorded due respect for their human dignity. Thus, Section 11, Article XIII of the Philippine Constitution categorically declares that "The State shall adopt an integrated and comprehensive approach to health development which shall endeavor to make essential goods, health and other social services available to all the people at affordable cost. There shall be priority for the needs of the underprivileged, sick, elderly, disabled, women and children."

The 1987 Constitution enshrines the rights of all Filipinos to quality education and accessible healthcare, and directs the State to prioritize the needs of the underprivileged, the sick, and persons with disabilities. Republic Act No. 7277 or the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons and Republic Act No. 11650 or the Inclusive Education Act further affirm these rights. Yet, for many Filipinos with developmental and neurodivergent conditions, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, intellectual and learning disabilities, and related developmental delays, these rights remain unfulfilled due to an acute shortage of trained professionals and services. Today, the numbers are stark: there are only 99 developmental pediatricians for more than 115 million Filipinos, with over half clustered in Metro Manila; only about 60 child psychiatrists serve the entire country; and roughly 6,000 occupational therapists and a few hundred speech-language pathologists are scattered unevenly across urban centers. In many provinces, particularly in Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAS), there are no resident specialists at all. Public schools, meanwhile, lack more than 7,600 special needs education teachers to serve the 323,000 identified learners with disabilities in the system. These figures reveal not only a numerical deficit, but also a gross inequality: children in poor or rural communities often never receive diagnosis or intervention, while those in cities or wealthy families can access world-class developmental services. The consequences are profound. Families in underserved areas must travel long distances or incur enormous costs to access care, often resulting in delayed or missed diagnoses, preventable secondary disabilities, and poor long-term outcomes. Teachers are left unsupported in inclusive classrooms, and children with disabilities are left behind. This is a systemic failure that robs children of their potential and society of their contributions. While Republic Act No. 11509 (Doktor Para sa Bayan Act) created a scholarship-and-service program for medical students, there is still no equivalent law for allied health and education professionals specializing in developmental and neurodivergence-related care. Without such a law, the workforce gaps that undermine inclusive education and health reforms will persist, and our obligations under the Constitution, RA 11650, and the Universal Health Care Act will remain unmet. This proposed measure, the Neurodevelopmental Health Scholarship and Service Act, seeks to build a sustainable national workforce of developmental health and education professionals. Through comprehensive scholarships covering tuition, stipends, allowances, insurance, and licensure support, we will enable deserving students to pursue careers in developmental psychology, occupational therapy, physical therapy (pediatric specialization), speech-language pathology, behavioral therapy, special education, child and adolescent psychiatry, and other related fields. In return, scholars will render service in public schools, hospitals, LGUS, and community centers, especially in GIDAs, thereby directly addressing the inequitable distribution of services. This is not charity. It is an investment in human capital and national development. Every neurodivergent child who receives early intervention can gain skills, independence, and the chance to contribute productively to society. Every SPED teacher, therapist, or developmental doctor deployed in an underserved area fulfills not only a professional role but a constitutional mandate for equity and inclusion. In passing this Act, Congress will affirm that no Filipino child's potential should be lost simply because the right professionals are out of reach. It is our moral, constitutional, and developmental duty to act now. In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage of this bill is earnestly sought.

Every day in communities across the Philippines, unpaid family caregivers quietly shoulder a heavy burden. They are parents, siblings, grandparents (often grandmothers), and solo parents who devote themselves full-time to caring for persons with autism, neurodivergent conditions, or disabilities. In the absence of sufficient formal care systems, these family members have become the invisible backbone of our nation's disability and long-term care support structure. They sacrifice career opportunities, financial stability, and even their own health out of love and necessity, ensuring the survival, dignity, and development oftheir loved ones. This is social justice issue - those who give so much of themselves deserve recognition and support. Yet today, family caregivers remain largely unrecognized and unsupported by our institutions. Most receive no financial aid, no legal protection, and little respite. The burden falls disproportionately on women: time-use surveys show Filipino women spend triple the hours men do on unpaid care work (6.5 hours vs 2.2 hours daily on primary caregiving tasks), often amounting to the equivalent of another full-time job[2]. This unpaid labor, while born out of love, comes at great personal cost. Globally and in the Philippines, research links intensive caregiving with worsened mental health for caregivers - anxiety, burnout, and depression rates are markedly higher in those tending to high-need family members. Many caregivers live in economic precarity as well, having given up jobs or income to provide full-time care. It is telling that the labor force participation rate of women lags significantly behind men (56% vs 77% as of 2023) in part due to care responsibilities limiting their opportunities. In short, family caregivers often become financially vulnerable, socially isolated, and physically exhausted, all while performing a role that benefits society at large. It is time for the State to recognize unpaid family caregiving as a form of productive work - as real and valuable as any other - that merits support and protection. The 1987 Constitution's equal protection clause and social justice provisions impel us to uplift marginalized sectors; in this case, the marginalized include those whose unpaid care labor has been too long taken for granted. The Magna Carta for Persons with Disabilities (RA 7277) already declares it a policy of the State to ensure the well-being and integration of persons with disabilities, pledging full support to improve their total well-being. Fulfilling that mandate means not only caring for the persons with disabilities themselves but also assisting those who care for them. Indeed, RA 7277 recognizes that the family and community are partners in a disabled person's welfare, and calls on government to support programs addressing their needs. Likewise, the Universal Health Care Act (RA 11223) aims for health for all - including mental health - and the National Mental Health Act (RA 11036) stresses access to mental health services, which family caregivers urgently need given the emotional toll of caregiving. The Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act (RA 11861) provides a modest P1,000 monthly subsidy and other benefits to solo parents earning minimum wage and below, acknowledging the hardships of single-handedly raising a child. But many family caregivers - for example, a sibling caring for a brother with a disability, or an elderly parent caring for an adult child - do not qualify for those solo parent benefits. And while the recently enacted Caregivers Welfare Act (RA 11965) protects the rights of professional or employed caregivers (such as domestic workers or caregivers by occupation) with decent work standards, it does not cover unpaid family members who provide care out of familial obligation. There is thus a gaping policy gap that this bill seeks to fill.

Human milk banks provide safe breast milk to infants in emergency situations, such as those who are affected by disasters, are critically ill or born prematurely. Breast milk provides all the nourishment that infants need in their first six months of life. In human milk banking, human milk collected from donors were pasteurized and dispensed to those babies in need. Under Section 2, Declaration of State Policy of Republic Act No. 10028 otherwise known as the "Expanded Breastfeeding Promotion Act of 2009, "Breastmilk is the best food since it contains essential nutrients completely suitable for the infant's needs. It is also nature's first immunization, enabling the infant to fight potential serious infection. It contains growth factors that enhance the maturation of infant's organ systems.

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age, or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control." a The 1987 Philippine Constitution expressly recognizes the right to health and aims to instill health consciousness among Filipinos (Article II, Section 15). Access to quality and affordable healthcare is a fundamental right of every Filipino. Further, it has explicitly mandated that the State shall adopt comprehensive approach to health development, ensuring essential goods and services available to all the people at affordable cost (Article XIII, Section 11). The spirit of this bill is to echo the commitment of the State to social justice and ensure equitable access to healthcare for all Filipinos, with particular attention to the most vulnerable members of society. Globally, cancer is a leading cause of death, and the burden is expected to rise significantly by 2050. In the Philippines, there were 188,976 new cancer cases in 2022. Approximately 1 in 5 people develop cancer in their lifetime, with roughly 1 in 9 men and 1 in 12 women dying from the disease.¹ In 2024, approximately 64,845 individuals in the Philippines were undergoing dialysis treatment, marking a significant 22% increase from 53,296 patients in 2023, trend attributed to a rising burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the country.

1. Overview of the Legislation Republic Act No. 11954 establishes the Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF), the Philippines' first-ever sovereign wealth fund. Managed by a newly created government-owned corporation called the Maharlika Investment Corporation (MIC), the fund pools state resources to make high-return investments in assets like foreign currencies, corporate bonds, real estate, and major infrastructure projects. 2. The Legislative Fast-Track and Authorship The push for the MIF was heavily driven by the administration's inner circle. House Bill No. 6398 was filed in late 2022 with Speaker Martin Romualdez and Rep. Sandro Marcos acting as primary political drivers. Meanwhile, Marikina Representative Stella Quimbo served as the technical and economic "face" of the bill, aggressively defending its financial structure in the media and during committee hearings. The speed of its passage was unprecedented for a bill of this magnitude: -It took only 17 days for the House of Representatives to deliberate and approve the bill after it was filed. -President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. certified the bill as "urgent," allowing Congress to bypass standard constitutional rules requiring bills to be read on three separate days. -It was signed into law in July 2023, just nine months after its initial proposal, despite massive pushback from civil society, academia, and the business sector. 3. The Pension Controversy and Funding Sources The most explosive controversy during the bill's drafting was its original funding mechanism. The first iterations of the bill mandated that the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) and the Social Security System (SSS) contribute billions in pension funds to bankroll Maharlika. The public backlash was so severe that lawmakers were forced to scrap this provision. The final law sources its initial ₱125 billion capitalization from: -Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP): ₱50 billion -Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP): ₱25 billion -National Government: ₱50 billion (sourced from Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas dividends and gaming revenues from PAGCOR). 4. Core Criticisms and "Red Flags" Economists from the University of the Philippines, various business groups (like the Makati Business Club), and political watchdogs opposed the fund due to several critical structural risks: No Budget Surplus: Sovereign wealth funds are traditionally created by countries with massive trade surpluses or excess oil revenues (like Norway or Middle Eastern nations). The Philippines, however, runs a severe budget deficit and carries trillions of pesos in national debt. Critics argue it is fiscally irresponsible to invest borrowed money or drain existing banks to play the stock market. Threat to Public Banks: By pulling ₱75 billion from Landbank and DBP, critics warned that these institutions would have their lending capacities crippled. This directly risks reducing the financial support available to local farmers, micro-entrepreneurs, and agricultural sectors. Corruption and the "1MDB" Comparison: The most enduring criticism is the risk of political patronage and plunder. Opponents frequently drew parallels to Malaysia's 1MDB scandal, where billions of dollars were embezzled from their sovereign wealth fund. Because the MIC Board of Directors is composed entirely of presidential appointees, watchdogs warned that the fund lacks true independence and could be used to bankroll crony projects or "ghost" investments. 5. Current Status The Maharlika Investment Corporation is currently active, with Rafael Consing Jr. appointed as its President and CEO. It has begun looking into its initial investments, recently agreeing to provide a $76.4 million bridge loan to a mining company, though foreign investor interest has reportedly remained lukewarm due to lingering concerns over transparency and safeguards.

Every Filipino child deserves a classroom-a space where they can feel safe, focused, and inspired to learn. But for millions of students across the country, this most basic need remains unmet. The reality is heartbreaking: children squeezed into overcrowded rooms, learning in shifts, or attending classes under makeshift roofs. As highlighted by the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II), the country faces a backlog of more than 165,000 classrooms as of 2023. This gap is not just a matter of numbers, but a daily, lived experience for learners and teachers who must endure conditions that make learning even more difficult. This bill seeks to create the Classroom-Building Acceleration Program (CAP), a program designed to mobilize local government units (LGUs) and the private sector to help fill this longstanding gap in our public-school infrastructure. While the Department of Education and the Department of Public Works and Highways continue to lead the charge, they cannot solve this crisis alone. With this measure, we aim to open doors for capable LGUs and private entities to step in and help through classroom construction projects that meet national standards and respond to local needs.
