This ordinance was enacted as a counter-measure against snatch thievery and other crimes by restricting motorcycle pillion riding, which is colloquially known as "riding in tandem" in the Philippines. Male back riders with certain exceptions is penalized by the city government. Exempted from this are 7 to 10 year-old children and adult females as backriders but specifically prohibits backriding for both males who are not first degree relatives. The Court of Appeals (CA) however has declared the Mandaluyong City riding-in-tandem ordinance unconstitutional, affirming this decision in May 2023.

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.

Mayor Rolando 'Klarex' Uy, through the program “Klarex nga Serbisyo sa Baryo,” brings essential government services directly to communities across Cagayan de Oro including access to the City Civil Registrar’s Office in select barangays. Anchored in the provisions of Local Government Code of 1991 (Republic Act No. 7160), which authorizes mayors to solemnize marriages, the initiative helps make legal union more accessible to underserved couples. The City Government, with support from the City Council, facilitates the administrative process often easing or subsidizing requirements such as marriage registration and related fees for qualified low-income applicants. Beyond the legal process, the program is also distinguished by its post-celebrations. During Kasalan ng Bayan ceremonies, couples have received items such as lechon, cakes, rice, and wine—reportedly provided by the Uy family, highlighting a blend of official public service and personal advocacy. Through this initiative, many couples have been formally recognized under the law helping secure the legal rights of spouses and strengthening protections for their children.

This Senator is very loud if the issue about family feud, about mistresses and "other woman" fights. Can you hear this senator talk about the ongoing corruption scandal? Tulfo should run no less than a Barangay Captain this 2028 elections.

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.

Klarexville refers to a series of socialized housing projects in Cagayan de Oro, aligned with the national government’s Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Program (4PH). The initiative has been rolled out across several locations, including Barangay Lumbia (planned as a 60-hectare township), Barangay Pagatpat (Klarexville 1), Barangay Carmen (Klarexville 2), and Barangay San Simon (Klarexville 4). The projects are designed to help address the city’s housing backlog by providing thousands of units for low-income and underserved families. In Barangay Pagatpat alone, more than 2,200 housing units are planned. Funding comes from a combination of local and national sources. The City Government allocates funds through approved budgets, such as the 2025 Executive Annual Budget under City Ordinance No. 14905-2024, while national support is provided by agencies like the Social Housing Finance Corporation and the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development, which play key roles in financing and implementing housing programs. In February 2026, the City Council passed City Ordinance No. 15299-2026, also known as the Anti-Epal Ordinance, which discourages naming public projects after elected or appointed officials. Earlier observations from Commission on Audit (COA) Region X noted that branding such as “Klarexville” may raise concerns under guidelines that prohibit the use of public resources for personal promotion.
