ASPIRING lawyers can complete their legal education for free in state universities and colleges (SUCs) in exchange for working in the government for two years after they pass the bar exams under a bill at the House of Representatives. House Bill (HB) No. 7433 filed by Reps. Paolo Duterte of Davao City, Eric Yap of Benguet and Edvic Yap (PL, ACT-CIS) is meant to address the shortfall of practicing lawyers in the country which, according to them, “undermines the legal representation of every Filipino, and overall, the national justice system. “Our proposal, which is consistent with programs that advocate public service to graduates, includes a mandatory two-year return service program for scholars after passing their bar exams, in a bid to encourage more lawyers to serve in Government,” Duterte said.

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.” ‘Unreasonably expensive’: Paolo Duterte files bill regulating parking fees Monday, January 9, 2023 POLITIKO Share Click this link to go to the article: POLITIKO Latest News Jul 16, 2025 I'm a paragraph.

Duterte said the proposed Internet Transactions Act (House Bill 3050) will complement the SIM Registration Act that was recently enacted into law. Paolo Duterte seeks swift approval of e-commerce bill Tuesday, October 25, 2022 POLITIKO News Share Click this link to go to the article: POLITIKO News Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte has sought the swift approval of the e-commerce bill to further protect internet transactions and promote internet economy. Duterte said the proposed Internet Transactions Act (House Bill 3050) will complement the SIM Registration Act that was recently enacted into law. “In order to protect the merchant and the consumer, an effective regulation of commercial activities through the internet or electronic means must be established,” said Duterte. The solon said that the measure will promote trust and accountability in the e-commerce market and will encourage micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to take advantage of digital innovations to expand their businesses. HB 3050, Duterte said seeks to ensure that consumer rights and data privacy are protected, innovation is encouraged, fair advertising practices and competition are promoted, online transactions are secured, intellectual property rights are respected and product standards and safety are observed. The measure will also create the E-Commerce Bureau under the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) that will act as a virtual one-stop shop tasked to receive, address and facilitate the speedy resolution of consumer complaints on unresolved internet transactions. Duterte noted that as a result of the pandemic, online retail and other e-commerce services are slowly becoming the norm in the day-to-day lives of many Filipinos, who have found conducting contactless transactions easy and convenient. Since the start of the pandemic, the country has recorded 12 million new digital consumers based on the 2021 e-Conomy report for Southeast Asia by Google and Temasek. The same study showed that the $17 billion gross merchandise value (GMV) of the Philippines’ internet economy in 2021 will grow to $40 billion in 2025. Latest News Jul 16, 2025 I'm a paragraph.
