00:00 The programs that are focused on the agriculture sector were discussed in a room in the House of Representatives.
00:06 Meanwhile, in the replacement of the Senate leader,
00:10 congressmen are hoping that senators will also pay attention to the amendment to the Rice Tarification Law,
00:18 which was also passed in the third and last reading of the House of Representatives.
00:21 Simela Lesmora, for Central News, live.
00:27 Angelic, this is the last session of the Congress today before the Senate adjournment.
00:31 That's why the activities here are continuous and in a row.
00:35 And one of them was led by House Speaker Martin Romualdez.
00:40 Together with the DPWH and the National Irrigation Administration,
00:45 House Speaker Martin Romualdez led a convergence meeting here in the House of Representatives
00:50 with his fellow lawmakers and other stakeholders.
00:56 They discussed the convergence programs of the Administration for Irrigation and Agriculture in the country.
01:04 According to Speaker Romualdez, the budget season is coming,
01:08 they are laying out the programs that they will give priority and include here are the agricultural and irrigation projects.
01:16 In an ambush interview, Speaker Romualdez was not able to avoid asking about the policy of the Senate leader.
01:23 According to the House leader, he is welcoming the new Senate President, Chris Escudero,
01:28 and they are hoping that the two members of Congress will be more active
01:33 so that they can pass more bills.
01:37 In the separate press conference, other congressmen were also invited,
01:41 hoping that the Senate will give notice of the passing of the bill
01:48 in the Rice Tarification Law, which was also passed in the House of Representatives in the third and final reading.
01:53 Earlier in the press conference, the lawmakers said that the House of Representatives will pass the bill in the plenary session.
02:00 This is the last plenary session before the Senate Day adjournment.
02:03 They are hoping that the lawmakers will pass the other important bills
02:08 so that it can be passed in the third and final reading before the Senate Day adjournment.
02:13 Earlier, I will just add to the press conference, other lawmakers also commented on the issue
02:21 that they say that the House has a connection with the Senate.
02:28 They say that the Senate is a separate institution and the House has nothing to do with it.
02:34 They are thanking the new leaders of the Senate
02:39 who are saying that they are independent and they are the only ones who passed the bill
02:44 in the Senate, Angelique.
02:47 Yes, Mela. What other bills can be passed in the third and final reading in the plenary session?
02:54 Angelique, the first thing that the House wants to pass is the amendment to the RTL
03:04 and other important bills, just like the universal social pension for our senior citizens.
03:12 So Angelique, later, one of the things that we are waiting for is the decision of the plenary session here in the House of Representatives
03:20 regarding the recommendation of the House Ethics Committee on the complaint against Congressman Pantaleon Alvarez.
03:26 That is what the House media is waiting for.
03:30 We will wait for other recommendations regarding the health, agriculture and other bills of our lawmakers regarding their local bills.
03:42 Okay. Thank you very much Mela Lesmora.
