The Senate is expected to approve on third and final reading the Maharlika Investment Fund Act before the sine die adjournment of the 19th Congress’ first regular session, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said. | SAbrogarINQ
If these four priority bills are passed and signed into law, the Senate’s first session will have accomplished seven priority measures in total. This tally includes the SIM Registration, the Act Postponing the Barangay Elections, and the AFP Fixed Term Law, all of which have already been enacted.
“I am proud to say that the Senate has performed very well for the First Regular Session, which typically tends to have a slow start in any Congress because we are essentially starting from scratch and studying all of the bills anew,” he said. Several Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council priority bills await the Senate’s second reading approval, including the Ease of Paying Taxes Act; the Magna Carta for Filipino Seafarers Act; the Act Institutionalizing the Automatic Income Classification of Provinces, Cities, and Municipalities; the New Philippine Passport Law; amendments to the Public-Private Partnership Act; the Internet Transactions Act; the Mandatory ROTC Act; and the Center for Disease Control Act.
