Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 25) – Two priority measures listed by the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council reached the Senate plenary on Tuesday.
The legislative measures are Senate Bill No. 2234, establishing the Department of Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos, and Senate Bill No. 2232, which creates a tax regime for Philippine offshore gaming operators.
In his sponsorship speech, Senator Joel Villanueva clarified the proposed department does not encourage Filipinos to leave the country. By putting eight government agencies and offices under one roof and one head does not mean a shift to embracing labor-export as a policy, but plainly a shift to improve collaborative governance from the ad-hoc services it creates, said Villanueva.
