Joey Salceda: Senior citizens' champion

I dare say he is one of the greatest losses to our legislature, having championed numerous laws that continue to benefit countless Filipinos today.

The Albay 2nd District representative is rightfully credited for many of our country's measures that resulted in ease of doing business, improved investment climate, and additional benefits for senior citizens, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and single parents.

JUE Filipinos from all walks of life continue to benefit from his contributions to national policy. The Free College Tuition Law has helped thousands, if not millions, of Filipino students in their pursuit of higher education. The Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Act (TRAIN) has provided relief to minimum-wage earners through tax exemption. The Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) Act helps boost Philippine competitiveness by modernizing the fiscal incentive system.
