Legarda said that he is an avid supporter of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), thus, the bills to provide assistance to entrepreneurs not just in Antique but throughout the country.

Among the other notable legislative measures he filed are H.B. 1845 or the “One Student, One Tablet Act,” H.B. 1969 or the “Magna Carta of Private School Teachers,” and H.B. 1970 or the “Magna Carta of Public School Teachers.”

He also recognizes the need to protect national resources given their role, value, and impact on the economy, hence, the filing of H.B. No. 2604 or the “Philippine Ecosystem and Natural Capital Accounting System.”

Both the reconstruction of the current Paliwan Bridge and the construction of the new one will commence this year.

In 2023, he seeks to capitalize on the beauty of the province in boosting the tourism industry, intensify the rollout of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED)-Tulong Dunong Scholarship, establish Wi-Fi connectivity to upland barangays through the help of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), and many others.
