Bataan 1st District Rep. Antonino B. Roman III recently vowed to pass an even fierce version of Citizens Access and Disclosure of Expenditures for National Accountability (CADENA) Act to include income derived from the national government itself.
In a statement, Roman said: “Hindi sapat na alam lang kung saan napunta ang pera ng bayan. Dapat malinaw din kung saan ito nanggaling.”
He said through the inclusive Cadena Bill, “we should impose strict monitoring of budget and allow the people to be part of decision making.”
The Cadena Bill was authored by Sen. Bam Aquino through Senate Bill No. 1506 and was passed in the Senate second reading in December 2025. Roman filed a more stringent version of Cadena Bill, the House Bill No. 7450.
Said Bill aims to promote transparency in government spending by mandating the use of blockchain technology for public records.
