Senate to focus on military upgrade; House to protect peso buying power

Quick Summary:

THE Senate will prioritize, during the third and last regular session of the 19th Congress, the continuing upgrade of the military, while helping grow amicable relations with neighbors, and will push measures that assure ordinary Filipinos better incomes and access to health, education and justice.

The lower chamber already approved on third and final reading the amendments to the Rice Tariffication Law, which addresses the widening gap between rice retail and farm gate prices.“By augmenting the rice supply and managing prices, rice becomes more affordable and, thus, accessible to all Filipinos,” Romualdez said.

ROMUALDEZ also reported on his recent trip to Japan, where he met with his counterpart, Speaker Fukushima Nukaga, and other Japanese lawmakers “to enhance the defense and security cooperation between our countries.“During the meeting, we made a firm commitment to expand the trilateral cooperation among the Philippines, Japan, and the United States,” he said.
