The House of Representatives on Tuesday defended the legality of a hybrid session it conducted Monday night, which saw the
approval of several key bills, among them the reform of the pension system for military and uniformed personnel and the fiscal regime for the mining industry.
Velasco’s comments came after Kabataan Rep. Raoul Manuel assailed the conduct of the session, which saw many members of the House physically absent from the session hall. Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said these pieces of legislation “were carefully studied and deliberated on by senators to help improve the lives of every Filipino.”
Zubiri was also among the co-authors of Senate Bill No. 2224, or the Ease of Paying Taxes Act, which Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, who heads the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, defended on the Senate floor.
