MANILA - The House of Representatives has carried the duty of crafting policies to shepherd the Philippines towards recovery from the ravaging Covid-19 pandemic. Speaker Lord Allan Velasco said the House's legislative work has been vital to the country's pandemic response, considering that its success lies in the policy choices of governments.
