MANILA, Philippines — Aside from a whole-of-government approach and partnering with the private sector, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has asked Congress to propose a new law on procurement and government auditing, to ensure that state agencies are able to keep up with the demands of the modern age.

Marcos, during his State of the Nation Address (Sona) on Monday said that the government cannot do everything on its own, noting that the country needs the help of the private sector to ensure transformative changes.

“Kakailanganin natin ang tulong at kakayahan ng buong pamahalaan at ng buong bansa.  And so, we shall do the same for the next five years, we seek not only to become effective but more to become truly transformative.  This approach shall be operationalized through the inter-agency cooperations, as well as through coordinated efforts between and among, the three branches of government, and the independent constitutional bodies,” the President said.

“We have organized private sector advisory councils and national local mechanisms to establish the needed linkages.  Once again, on this same principle, I urge the government to enact a New Procurement Law, and a New Government Auditing Code, this to make government procurement more attuned to these changing times,” he added.
