Aquino hopeful Congress will pass all priority bills

MANILA – The Aquino administration expressed optimism the Senate and the House of Congress will pass all its priority bills this year, a government spokesman said.

“Umaasa ang pamahalaan na hindi bababa sa 18 sa 29 na priority legislative agenda na inihain ng Pangulo at ng administrasyon sa Kongreso noong nakaraang taon ang pormal na maipapasa ng Senado at ng Kamara,” Secretary Herminio Coloma, told state radio Radyo ng Bayan.

He said among the important bills is the Bangsamoro Basic Law.

“Isa sa mga panukalang batas na ito ang Bangsamoro Basic Law na siyang magbibigay daan upang maitatag ang Bangsamoro Transitional Assembly bago idaos ang halalan para sa mga opisyal ng Bangsamoro Political Entity sa taong 2016,” he said.

Coloma said the government is also proposing to amend some existing laws, including the Build-Operate-Transfer, Road Right of Way for the infrastructure projects, and the shipping industry’s Cabotage.

“Ibig din ng pamahalaan na ganap na maisabatas ang Rationalization of Fiscal Incentives, Rationalization of the Mining Fiscal Regime, Tax Incentives Management and Transparency Act, Antitrust Act, National Land Use Act, at ang Strategic Trade Management Act,” Coloma said.

Coloma said the government is similarly prioritizing the passing of the Customs Modernization Act which is included in the fiscal reform package, and the proposed enactment into law of the designation of the Philippine maritime zone, and archipelagic sea lanes, and the delineation of specific forest limits of public domain.

“Nais din ng pamahalaan na palakasin ang sistemang panghustisya ng bansa sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabatas ng Whistleblowers Protection Act at ang pagpapatatag ng Witness Protection Program,” Coloma said. (Mindanao Examiner)
