As a prospective member of the Rightsizing Committee, the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) applauded the Senate's advancement of the National Government Rightsizing Program (NGRP) after Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero sponsored the Bill with Senator Joel Villanueva as a co-sponsor on 18 December 2024 during Senate 40th Plenary Session. 

Senate Bill No. 890, entitled "Rightsizing the National Government Act," seeks to establish a lean, efficient, and responsive government workforce by streamlining agency operations, optimizing organizational structures and staffing levels, enhancing interoperability among government agencies, and eliminating redundant, overlapping, or obsolete functions, programs, and projects. 

As an agency tasked with enhancing government efficiency and advancing regulatory reforms, ARTA Secretary Ernesto V. Perez expressed optimism and full support for the passing of the bill.

"The National Rightsizing Program is one of President Marcos administration's top priorities, and we in ARTA are here to support it as best we can," the ARTA Chief said. 

"In its core, NGRP aligns with [ARTA’s] mandate to streamline and improve government efficiency, mas lalo nating papaigihin ang mga proseso sa gobyerno," he added. 

ARTA Secretary Perez personally attended its sponsorship in the Senate together with Better Regulations Office (BRO) Director Marbida L. Marbida and representatives from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) and Civil Service Commission (CSC).
