SPEAKER Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez on Sunday said the House of Representatives would pass bills that seek to boost job creation and support small businesses when the next Congress convenes.
The House would back measures to strengthen workers’ rights, modernize the agriculture sector and bolster food supply, he said in a statement, adding that this is in line with the agenda of Senate bets backed by the Marcos government.
“Our efforts are in lockstep with the Alyansa ng Bagong Pilipinas (Alliance for a New Philippines) candidates’ platforms,” Mr. Romualdez said. “Their platform to prioritize livelihoods, support farmers and fishers and protect the welfare of workers both here and abroad reflects the same values driving our legislative work.” — Kenneth Christiane L.
