The House Committee on Justice has passed a bill seeking to strengthen the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC) by increasing its powers and functions, and rationalizing and further professionalizing its organization.

The House panel, chaired by Leyte Rep. Vicente Veloso approved seven bills on the proposed “OGCC Charter.”

“It is high time that OGCC shall be reorganized and strengthened. For the past 84 years of existence, since we were created in 1935, we started only with seven government corporations and it has ballooned to almost 500 plus and that does not include yet all the water districts in the country. That is why we have to strengthen the OGCC,” he told the panel.

“For this, we are handling almost 6,000 cases in various courts, aside from administrative cases, filing pleadings and attending hearings for said cases and these legal services would be considered savings for the government corporations,” he pointed out.
