Isinusulong sa Kongreso ng ilang mambabatas ang House Bill 4696 na naglalayong maprotektahan ang mga senior citizens sa kapabayaan at pang aabuso.

Nakapaloob sa panukalang batas na maaaring makulong ang sino mang guilty sa pananamantala, kapabayaan at pang aabuso.

Layon din nito na magkaroon ng desk sa bawat barangay upang agad na maaksyonan ang nasabing isyu.

AT least three proposed laws were filed in the House of Representatives to champion people’s interest, including a measure that seeks to improve maternal and newborn care and provide maximum safeguards to Filipino mothers at the time of their childbirths.

House Bill (HB) No. 5684, or An Act Safeguarding the Health of Filipino Mothers at the Time of Their Childbirth, filed by Las Piñas Representative Camille Villar aims to reduce maternal deaths by providing birthing facilities for every barangay in the country.

Itinulak ni Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte at dalawa pang kongresista ang panukala na magpaparusa sa mga indibidwal na magpapabaya o aabuso sa mga matatanda.

“Elderly citizens, like our lolos and lolas, should be honored, cared for and respected,” sabi ni Duterte. “Unfortunately, many of our senior citizens still suffer abuse and most of the time, even from the very people who are supposed to care for them, as shown by news reports and reliable posts in social media. Worse, many cases of elder abuse go unreported and unpunished. Our bill aims to prevent these.”

Inihain nina Duterte, Benguet Rep. Eric Yap at ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Edvic Yap ang panukalang Anti-Elder Abuse Act (House Bill 4696).

Mahaharap sa pagkakakulong at pagmumutahin ang sinumang mapapatunayang nananakit, mang-aabuso at nagpapabaya sa mga senior citizens.

Ito ay sa sandaling maging batas ang panukala na inihain ng ilang kongresista na naglalayong ipakulong ang mga taong mapapatunayang nagkasala ng pagsasamantala, pagpapabaya o pang-aabuso sa mga matatanda.

Sa House Bill (HB) 4696 na inihain nina Davao City 1st District Rep. Paolo Duterte, Benguet Rep. Eric Yap at ACT-CIS party list Rep. Edvic Yap, hiniling din nito ang pagtatatag ng mga senior citizen help desk sa bawat barangay upang magbigay ng agarang tulong sa mga biktima na nakaligtas sa pang-aabuso sa matatanda.

Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte and two other lawmakers have jointly filed a measure seeking to jail individuals who are guilty of exploiting, neglecting, or abusing the elderly.

“Elderly citizens, like our lolos and lolas, should be honored, cared for, and respected,” Duterte said. “Unfortunately, many of our senior citizens still suffer abuse and most of the time, even from the very people who are supposed to care for them, as shown by news reports and reliable posts on social media. Worse, many cases of elder abuse go unreported and unpunished. Our bill aims to prevent these.”

Duterte, Benguet Rep. Eric Yap, and ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Edvic Yap introduced the proposed Anti-Elder Abuse Act (House Bill 4696).

Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte yesterday expressed his reservation on the immediate approval of RHB No. 6, questioning its timing.

Duterte said that many pressing issues needed to be prioritized, like the country’s social and economic problems.

“This is to express our irresolution with the immediate approval of RBH No. 6,” Duterte said in a statement.

He added, “To reiterate, we are not in opposition against the said measure per se, but we suppose it is not timely. Our country is facing more pressing social and economic issues, like inflation and poverty, among others, that we need to prioritize.”

Duterte also pointed out that the billions of pesos intended for the Constitutional Convention on Charter change (Cha-cha) could better be used to alleviate the lives of Filipinos.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 7) — Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte said he is not against the proposal to call for a constitutional convention (con-con), but he thinks it is untimely as the country is facing more pressing issues.

In a statement, Duterte explained his “no” vote to Resolution of Both Houses No. 6, which calls for a con-con.

“This is to express our irresolution with the immediate approval of RBH No. 6. To reiterate, we are not in opposition against the said measure per se, but we suppose that it is not timely, our country is facing more pressing social and economic issues, like inflation and poverty among others, that we need to prioritize,” he said.

Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte yesterday expressed his reservation on the immediate approval of the Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) No. 6 calling for a Constitutional Convention to amend the 1987 Charter, as he questioned its timing.

Duterte said there are many pressing issues that need to be prioritized, like the social and economic problems the country is facing.

“This is to express our irresolution with the immediate approval of RBH No. 6,” Duterte said in a statement.

It didn’t take long for the voting result of the constitutional convention (con-con) measure in the House of Representatives to create controversy.

Just a couple of hours after the House overwhelmingly approved Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) No.6 on third and final reading on Monday afternoon, March 6, Davao City 1st district Rep. Paolo Duterte issued a statement clarifying that he actually voted “no” to the measure.

“This is to express our irresolution with the immediate approval of RBH No. 6,” Rep. Duterte said.
