Senator Pia worked for the passage of three landmark laws.

She sponsored the

Reproductive Health Law (RA 10354), which provides women with access to
information and health care services to realize their reproductive health rights, after the
bill languished in Congress for 14 years. She also fought for the Sin Tax Reform Act
(RA 10351) which generates additional revenue for the country’s healthcare system,
while also discouraging Filipinos from the unhealthy behaviors of smoking and
excessive drinking, and Graphic Health Warning Act (10643), which requires all
cigarette packages sold in the market to bear picture-based warnings on the hazardous
effects of smoking.

Her growing list of legislative accomplishments includes the Act Amending the National
Health Insurance Act (RA 10606), Foster Care Act (RA 10165), Mandatory Infants and
Children Health Immunization Act (RA 10152), Expanded Breastfeeding Promotion Act
(RA 10028), Establishment of Persons with Disability Affairs Office Act (RA 10070),
Expanded Senior Citizens Act (RA 9994), Food and Drugs Administration Act (RA
9711), Magna Carta of Women (RA 9710), Universally Accessible Cheaper and Quality
Medicines Act (RA 9502), National Anti-Rabies Act (RA 9482), and the Environmental
Awareness and Education Act (RA 9512), among others.

As an international parliamentarian, Senator Pia was the first Filipina and Asian in the
history of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) to be elected president of the Committee
of Women Parliamentarians, a position she held from 2008-2010.
