PINURI ni Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez ang paglagda ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. sa Eddie Garcia law na naglalayong protektahan ang mga manggagawa sa entertainment industry.

“The tragic loss of Eddie Garcia, a beloved icon in our film and television world, underscored the urgent need for stronger protections for our industry workers. His legacy has inspired us to take action and ensure that no worker has to face unsafe working conditions,” ani Speaker Romualdez.

“The “Eddie Garcia Law” is our promise to do better by our actors, crew members, and everyone who brings our stories to life,” saad pa ng lider ng Kamara de Representantes na mayroong mahigit 300 kinatawan.

Sinabi ni Speaker Romualdez na kaligtasan, karapatan, at kapakanan ng mga nasa entertainment industry ang nais na tiyakin ng bagong batas na ito.

“For ordinary Filipinos, this law means more than just new rules and regulations. It means that their safety, their rights, and their well-being are being taken seriously. It means that when they step onto a set, they can do their jobs with the confidence that they are protected and valued,” saad pa ni Speaker Romualdez.

Ayon sa lider ng Kamara nagkaisa ang Kongreso sa pagpasa ng panukala dahil naniniwala ito sa kahalagahan na mabigyan ng dignidad ang bawat manggagawa.

“Congress came together to pass this bill because we believe in the importance of every worker’s dignity. The entertainment industry is a vital part of our culture and economy, and it’s high time we ensure that those who work tirelessly to entertain us are given the respect and security they deserve,” wika pa nito.
