OFFICIAL INDEX COMPARISON
Compared against the Supreme Court E-Library index captured on 6 November 2026. Multiple editions are counted once by Act number.
8,510 newly source-checked Republic Acts were added. All 12,288 Act numbers in the captured official index now have a public catalogue entry. Of the new records, 8,473 include searchable source text and 37 are clearly marked metadata-only because the official page lacks the enactment body. 88 records retain their source year without an exact sort date because official source dates conflict. Court and agency collections continue to expand and are not exhaustive.
Historical versions stay separate from amending laws. A source check identifies the text and origin; coverage figures do not describe an official consolidated body of current law.
