Makabayan bloc vows to block final passage of bill allowing foreigners to own public utilities in PH

Party-list Reps. Carlos Isagani Zarate , France Castro , Arlene Brosas , and Sara Jane Elago scored the Lower Chamber’s passage of House Bill No. 78 or the proposed 2020 Public Service Act on second reading on Tuesday.

“Kung hindi mag-apply ang citizenship requirement, for example, telecommunication at transportation, ay pwede nang pumasok ang dayuhan,” Zarate said. Brosas warned that if HB 78 is enacted into law, it will have a huge economic impact. “This is tantamount to foreign ownership, full foreign ownership of media entities, railways, transport systems, telecommunication systems.”
