The Senate approved on second reading on Monday a bill seeking to amend the Solo Parents’ Welfare Act of 2000 to expand its range of benefits and coverage. | GabrielLaluINQ

Even before the bill was amended, SB No. 1411 already introduced important changes in who can be considered as solo parents and what benefits they could get. For example, part of the original law’s Section 3 would be amended to include grandparents who have the sole parental responsibility for their grandchildren.

SB No. 1411 also placed safeguards on possible abuse, as unmarried partners are not automatically considered as solo parents should they have a child. Under the bill, solo parents can enjoy a 20% discount on the “medical needs of the child, the child’s basic necessities, diapers until age 3, hospital bills of both the solo parent and the child, and the child’s tuition fees from kindergarten until college”.

Isko Moreno wants President Duterte in his Senate slatePresidential hopeful Isko Moreno is publicly courting President Rodrigo Duterte so he'll join his Senate ticket in the upcoming elections. TheFilipinoVotes Kadiri ka, Isko. Binaboy mo sarili mo. Such an ignoble Isko Moreno, utak kalye ka talaga! Kisihuda kung sino o ano ka basta para sa ambisyon ko okay ka sakin! Wala na syang pinagkaiba kay Harry Roque! technically, due to withdrawal of Bong Go, wala ring nag aadopt na presidential candidate kay PRRD. Since puno na si Robredo, Lacson and Pacquiao, not sure with Bongbong, so pwede namn since 3 lang ang line up ni Isko for senator.

Senate urged to pass medical reserve corps billAnakalusugan Partylist Rep. Michael Defensor has called on the Senate to pass the House bill that seeks to create a new Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) which he said is “absolutely crucial to enable the country to suppress future pandemics.” pwersahan ang paglagay nyo ng mga healthcare workers sa MedicalCorps eh hindi nyo nga mabigay ng maayos ang mga benepisyo nila, gusto nyo pa ng pwersahang volunteerism uminom ka na lang ng ivermectin boi 😂😂 Prevention is better than cure. If we plan to fail then we fail to plan. Congressman MikeDefensor is proactive while most of his colleagues are simply siphoning public funds every month doing nothing for the country. Don't we already have retired military officers to do that? Why medical people?
