MANILA — Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino said on Tuesday (18 June 2024) that the upper chamber will conduct a session every Thursday to tackle local bills from the House of Representatives.
Tolentino said that the session will be held from 10 am to 1 pm.
“Huwebes magse-sesyon, umaga—10 [am] to 1 [pm],” he told Senate reporters.
“Kasi napakaraming tambak na local bills ‘yung mga protection of mga environmental zone…changing the name of a college, street, etc. Ide-devote ng Senado ‘yung Thursday to tackle local bills coming from the House of Representatives,” Tolentino added.
Meanwhile, Monday to Wednesday sessions will be allotted for national bills.
