PBBM to solons: Pass bills on Dept of Water, WTE, other priorities

Quick Summary:

PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos called on Congress for the swift passage of his remaining priority bills including new environment-related laws, which will create the Department of Water Resources (DWR) and convert garbage into energy.

Among the pending pieces of legislation, he said, is the DWR bill, which is yet to be finalized as the Senate waits for the “reconciled version emanating from the Executive Branch.

We hope to be able to maximize it by way of passing most of these laws including the advocacies of the local level of our friends and colleagues in the House as well as those members from the Senate,” Escudero said.
