THE House of Representatives (HOR) approved 327 bills on final reading and passed four legislative measures into law before its month-long break, House Majority Leader Rolando Andaya Jr. said on Thursday.
The HOR will resume work on November 12, but Andaya said House committees will continue working during the break to finalize and fine-tune bills for the plenary sessions after the break.
“Only two of the President’s priority measures remain pending at the House: the Department of Disaster Resilience and the Constituent Assembly,” Andaya said.
Andaya said that among those enacted into law were Republic Act 11055, which establishes a Filipino Identification System, and RA 11058, which strengthens compliance with occupational safety and health standards of Filipino workers.
Also passed into law were RA 11057, which strengthens the legal framework for the creation, perfection, determination of priority rights and enforcement of security interests in personal property and the establishment of a notice registry and RA 11059, which establishes a retirement benefit system in the Office of the Ombudsman.
Of the 327 bills approved on third and final reading, three were included in the legislative priority measures outlined by President Duterte. These are the Coconut Farmers and Industry Development Fund, or House Bill 5745; Rice Tariffication (HB 7735), and Trabaho bill (HB 8083).
The coco-levy bill has been ratified by both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and may be signed into law by the President soon.
Other priority measures that the House of Representatives already approved in final reading last year and awaiting action from the Senate include the Universal Health Care (HB 5784), National Land Use and Management Policy (HB 4240), and Endo or Security of Tenure Act (HB 6908).
