A bill requiring tertiary-level students to undergo a National Citizens Service Training Program in place of the National Service Training Program, has been approved on third and final reading at the House of Representatives. | GabrielLaluINQ
The bill, which makes the Reserve Officers Training Corps optional, got 276 affirmative votes from House members present, while four voted against it and one abstained.The House approved the measure on third reading just hours after it passed the same measure on second reading, made possible by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s certification of the bill as urgent.
Similar to House Bill No. 6608 which contained the proposed Maharlika Investment Fund, the earliest that the bills could have been approved without Marcos’ certification is January 25.This is because House rules state that bills approved on second reading can only be deliberated for third reading after three session days.
