SA muling pagbubukas ng sesyon ngayong araw ay nangako ang liderato ng Kamara de Representantes na tatapusin ang mga nakabinbing panukalang batas na maaari pa nitong maihabol.
“We are committed to approve more pending measures for as long we can muster a quorum,” ani House Majority Leader at Capiz Rep. Fred Castro.
Hanggang sa Hunyo 7 ang sesyon ng Senado at Kamara de Representantes. Muli itong magbubukas sa Hulyo 22, para maghalal ng Speaker at Senate President bago ang State of the Nation Address ni Pangulong Duterte.
Ngayong araw ay umapela naman si Leyte Rep. Yedda Maria Romualdez sa Senado na bigyan ng pansin ang panukalang pagtatayo ng Department of Disaster Resilience.
“I hope that our good senators will include the approval of the proposal in their agenda,” ani Romualdez. “This would help drastically reduce, if not totally eliminate, the bureaucratic red tape that has caused many delays in the delivery of immediate assistance needed by disaster and calamity victims.”
Umaasa naman si BH Rep. Bernadette Herrera-Dy na marami pang magagawa ang Kongreso sa nalalabing sesyon nito. “If the Senate is able to approve some of those bills, the House would swiftly act on them so they can be sent to Malacanang at the soonest.”
Hirit naman ni 1Pacman Rep. Mikee Romero sana ay mapirmahan na ng Pangulo ang Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program at Magna Carta for the Poor bills.
“Working with our colleagues in the House and the Senate, we placed our mark in these three significant pieces of legislation, especially the two anti-poverty measures wherein we pushed for systems, processes, standards, and funding meant to make government implement its social programs better than ever before,” ani Romero.
