Department of Overseas Filipinos, death penalty are next Senate priorities

(Senate of the Philippines / FILE PHOTO / MANILA BULLETIN) In a list released by Senate President Vicente Sotto III Monday, the establishment of a department for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) is second in the Upper Chamber’s priorities after the proposed National Land Use Act. Earlier, senators decided to defer discussions on the proposed OFW department and other new agencies to address first the government’s bloated bureaucracy. President Duterte recently certified it as an urgent measure.  But Sotto later said he is already inclined to vote for the creation of OFW department since it would support his push for the rightsizing of the government, as it would put all existing OFW-related agencies in one body.
