House Okays 75 bills on final reading
MANILA — Taking advantage of the one-week break from the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona, the House of Representatives on Monday approved 75 measures, including 21 national bills on final reading.
Among those approved on third reading are the Anti-Cable Television and Cable Internet Pilferage Act, Regulating the practice of Geology in the Philippines, Declaring December of every year as “Anti-Corruption Month”, and amendments to the Civil Aeronautics Act and the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) charter.
Also passed on final reading is a proposed law exempting population and land area requirements in the conversion of a municipality into a component city if it has an average annual income of at least P200 million.
National measures proposing the creation of 39 branches of Regional Trial Courts (RTC) were also approved by House members. The new RTCs are spread across Negros Occidental, Agusan del Sur, Iloilo, General Santos City, Samar, Cebu, Cavite, Lapu-Lapu City and Lanao del Norte.
“This proves that House members are fully focused on their legislative duties. Credit goes to the collective leadership and the members of the majority as well as to the critical cooperation of the Minority. We continue to work silently but consistently,” House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. said in a press statement.
Quorum numbers dwindled in the House of Representatives since the start of Corona’s impeachment trial in the Senate.
Lawmakers also approved seven national bills on second reading, including House Bill 98 defining and penalizing enforced of involuntary disappearance.
“With this development, we are a step closer towards the advancement of human rights in the country. It’s about time that we enact a law that shall respond to the continuing issue of enforced and involuntary disappearances that have befallen many progressive Filipinos,” said Deputy Speaker Lorenzo “Erin” Taรฑada III, a principal author of the bill.
The measure proposes to include the liability of commanding officers or equivalent senior officials of the offender for failure to prevent, discontinue, or uncover an enforced disappearance.
Also approved on second reading is House Bill 5715 providing for the protection, security and benefits of whistleblowers.
Both HB 98 and HB 5715 are eyed to be passed on third reading before Congress goes on a Lenten break on March 21.
