Malacañang said the proposed UPLIFT Bill is being considered as one of the priority measures of the Marcos administration, aimed at boosting economic recovery and strengthening social protection programs.
UPLIFT, or the Unified Package for Livelihoods, Industry, Food, and Transport, is a “whole-of-government” framework created under Executive Order No. 110 on March 24, 2026. It seeks to address the impact of the Middle East crisis and rising fuel prices.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the bill is still under discussion and may be included in the administration’s priority agenda.
She added that the change in Senate leadership will not affect agreements made during the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council meetings.
Castro stressed that priority measures are meant for the public good, and should continue regardless of leadership changes in Congress.IMT
