Caregiver's Welfare Act

The Caregivers' Welfare Act was passed in November 2023 with the strong support of Cong. Gus Tambunting. This law protects caregivers by ensuring fair wages, overtime pay, 13th-month pay, and leave benefits.

Anti-Hazing Act of 2018

The Anti-Hazing Act of 2018 (RA 11053) enforces a nationwide ban on hazing. It strictly regulates initiation rites in fraternities, sororities, and organizations to protect recruits from harm.

The law imposes harsher penalties, including life imprisonment if hazing results in death, suicide, rape, sodomy, or mutilation. Cong. Gus remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of every Filipino.

Expanded Maternity Leave Law

The Expanded Maternity Leave Law, a key Gus Tambunting achievement, grants 105 days of paid leave to mothers. This extension ensures better health and recovery for both mothers and babies.
