Mga komite binigyan ng kapangyarihan na mag-hearing kahit walang sesyon

Kamara

BINIGYAN ng kapangyarihan ng liderato ng Kamara de Representantes ang mga komite nito na magsagawa ng pagdinig kahit na walang sesyon.

Naghain ng mosyon si House Majority Leader Martin Romualdez sa plenaryo at inaprubahan naman ito sa pamamagitan ng viva voce voting.

“In accordance with our rules, I move that we authorize all committees to conduct meetings, if deemed necessary, during the adjournment sine die of the First Regular Session of the 18th Congress,” ani Romualdez.

Ngayong araw ang huling sesyon ng Kongreso para sa First Regular Session ng 18th Congress. Muli itong magbabalik sa Hulyo 27 para sa Second Regular Session at State of the Nation Address ni Pangulong Duterte.

“The primary duty of Members is to legislate. Our own House Rules specifically provides that Members shall, among others, prepare, introduce and work for the passage of legislative measures to effectively address social, political and economic needs and concerns,” ani Romualdez.

“We will not be distracted and we will not lose track on shepherding priority legislations that will answer and cater to the needs of the welfare of the people especially in this challenging and difficult times. We must work doubly hard not only to arrive at the decision on whether to grant the franchise application of ABS-CBN but more importantly, to craft and put into fruition the passage of the priority measures relative to the fight against the pandemic, and the eventual defeat of COVID-19.”
