“In our ongoing efforts, we have successfully implemented salary improvements that honor your invaluable contributions to our legislative work. These adjustments are a testament to our recognition of your hard work and dedication. Furthermore, we have continuously worked on enriching your benefits package,” saad pa ni Speaker Romualdez.

Mayroon din umanong mga itatayong pasilidad na nakalinya na.

“The construction of a permanent secretariat building is underway, a testament to our commitment to providing a stable and conducive work environment for our staff.

Itatayo rin umano ng Kamara ang Institute for Legislation and Legislative Governance upang mahubog umano ang kasanayan ng mga empleyado sa paggawa ng batas.

“We have also not forgotten the importance of health and wellness. A state-of-the-art sport and fitness center, including a basketball court, is in the works. This facility will provide a space for physical activity and relaxation, promoting a healthy work-life balance,” sabi pa nito.

“Pangako po namin sa inyo: ibabalik natin ang basketball court at sports complex na dati ay pinakikinabangan ng lahat,” dagdag pa ng lider ng Mababang Kapulungan.

Nasa plano rin umano ang pagtatayo ng medical and wellness center para sa mga empleyado at kanilang dependent bukod pa sa multi-story parking building para magkaroon ng sapat na parking area sa loob ng Batasan Complex.
