Serious repercussions to private schools

THE power to legislate laws is a responsibility entrusted by the country’s voting population to each member of both Houses of Congress.

In crafting legislation, the objective is, or should be, to address critical issues that have strategic impact to the nation’s socio-economic wellbeing, national security, and consistent with the Philippine Constitution. The long and thorough legislative process that a bill must go through tests its responsiveness, viability, and most of all, ensure the positive impact to the sectors the proposed legislation seeks to benefit, while justly penalizing those who will violate its execution.

Vital to all legislative initiatives are intense consultations with all affected stakeholders so that legislators will be educated by experts on the real dynamics of an affected sector and be advised of the repercussions of proposed policies.
