Rep. Edcel Lagman (Albay 1st district) said in an interview on ANC’s Headstart that the reengineered version of the MIF bill would go against a 1993 law requiring GOCCs to turn over half of its earnings to the national government.
A lawmaker named several individuals allegedly behind the illicit importation of millions worth of farmed goods during an inquiry at the House of Representatives.
Senate Bill No. 1670 is an identical copy of the House’s third reading version and does not contain the “reengineering” that Rep. Joey Salceda (Albay) previously mentioned.
