‘Unreasonably expensive’: Paolo Duterte files bill regulating parking fees
Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte and three other lawmakers have jointly filed a measure seeking to regulate parking fees.
In House Bill 5671, Duterte, Benguet Rep. Eric Yap, and ACT-CIS Representatives Edvic Yap and Jeffrey Soriano underscored the importance of regulating parking fees to avoid “anti-consumer practices.”
“While a number of consumer-friendly establishments do not charge customers with parking fees, some charge theirs with unreasonably expensive parking fees,” the authors said. “Absent such legislations regulating parking fees, the parking operators continue to exhibit anti-consumer practices since consumers are left with no choice but to enter these adhesive contracts.”

‘FREE LEGAL ASSISTANCE’ SA UNIFORMED PERSONNEL MALAKING MORALE BOOSTER
NANINIWALA si Davao City 1st Dist. Rep. Paolo Duterte na ang pagkakaloob ng libreng serbisyong legal sa “men and women in uniform” partikular ang ipinagharap ng kaso na mayroong kaugnayan sa pagganap lamang ng kani-kanilang tungkulin ay malaking ‘morale booster’ sa mga ito.
Bukod dito, binigyan-diin ng Davao City lawmaker na tiyak na magiging mas ganado rin sa kanilang pagtatrabaho ang mga kasapi ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the Philippine National Police (PNP) at iba pang law enforcement agencies kapag batid nilang handa silang tulungan ng pamahalaan na may kaugnayan sa usaping legal.
“Free legal assistance will strengthen our uniformed personnel’s morale, safeguarding them from unfortunate circumstances that may come with performing their sworn duties. This free legal assistance, in the premise that is not misused, could serve as an incentive and boost productivity,” giit pa ni Duterte.

Tax breaks sought for doctors who give free services to poor Pinoys
Davao City 1st district Rep. Paolo Duterte is leading a push to grant tax incentives to doctors volunteering their services for free to indigent patients as a way of recognizing their “selfless and committed” efforts in helping provide quality healthcare to Filipinos.
For this purpose, Duterte filed House Bill (HB) No. 5672, or the proposed Act giving tax credit to physicians rendering pro bono services to poor patients.
The University of the Philippines’ (UP) latest estimates show that on the average, there are 3.7 doctors in the country for every 10,000 Filipinos, which is way below the World Health Organization (WHO)- prescribed ratio of 1 for every 1,000 (or 10 for every 10,000 people).

Ibaba ang singil sa OFW remittance fee
Sa 2023, tinataya ng mga eksperto na mananatiling positibo ang paglago ng ekonomiya ng bansa. Ang isa sa mga magsasalba sa ekonomiya sa gitna ng mataas na presyo ng mga bilihin at iba pang pagsubok na maaring dumating ay ang ating mga overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
Ang mga OFWs natin ang nakatulong para manatiling matatag ang ekonomiya ng bansa kahit na may pandemya at mga lockdown na nagpatigil noon sa pagpapatakbo ng maraming negosyo.
