00:00A three-year college education, public participation in the drafting of the national budget, and abandoned online gaming are among the proposed bills filed by the Senators on the second day of the 20th Congress.
00:11Our Daniel Manalastas tells us more.
00:16During the second day of filing of bills under the 20th Congress in the Senate, Senator Sherwin Gachalian is pushing for a three-year college education curriculum.
00:25Itong practice na ito ay ginagawa sa maraming bansa, especially sa Commonwealth countries.
00:31Pagpasok ng bata sa koleyo, ang kanyang pag-aaralan ay yung kanyang major na, diretsyon na siya dun sa major.
00:41Yung mga general education subjects, ibababa sa senior high school.
00:46He also wants stricter online gambling rules amid surge in addiction.
00:51As he expressed concern that even kids are allegedly and deeply engaged in such activity.
00:58Pati bata ngayon ay nag-online gambling na ngayon, lalo na in scatter.
01:03Pagbabawalan na gumamit ng Gcash sa online gambling, tataasan yung age from 18 to 21, tapos ang minimum bets is 10,000.
01:13How about e-sabong?
01:15Kasali na siya, kasali na siya dun.
01:16But ang e-sabong, walang law banning it.
01:22But I know there's an executive order banning it.
01:25So, siguro pag-aaralan.
01:29Kasi ako personally, I'm against e-sabong.
01:32Dahil talagang nakita naman natin yung nangyari nung in-allow in e-sabong.
01:37So, we'll also study whether to pass a law to permanently ban e-sabong.
01:42Senator Pia Cayetano meanwhile filed 10 bills like the VAPES and HTP's Regulation Act, the Walkable and Bikeable Communities Bill, and the Ban on Online Gaming Act.
01:53Senator Panfilolakson meanwhile pushes for a bill that ensures the republic will have a chance to participate in crafting the national budget.
02:02Senate President Jesus Cudero filed bills which aim to cut tax rates for small businesses, saying this will allow small businesses, especially those that are struggling financially, to continue their operations.
02:17Senator Lito Lapid filed his proposed legislation like the One Electronics Medical Records Act, Rights of Internally Displaced Person Act, and the News Media Welfare Act.
