The House of Representatives suspended session until Monday, August 17, in response to clamor from House employees who report to work regularly despite the recent upsurge of COVID 19 cases in Metro Manila.
The session break will give ample time for a thorough disinfection of all offices and facilities in the House of Representatives and give employees a brief respite from the aggravation caused by the spike in COVID cases.
The House leadership decided on the suspension of Wednesday’s session only after the chamber approved on third and final reading the Bayanihan to Recover as One Bill and four other national bills which are part of the government’s COVID response measures.
The session break will also enable the various committees of the House of Representative to fast-track the reporting out of all COVID-related measures for plenary consideration when we resume session. (House of Representatives PR)
