4PS Institutionalizing Bill

Congress may still enact into law the proposed Programang Pantawid Pamilyang
Pilipino (4Ps) Institutionalization Bill and the Coco Levy Bill before it adjourns in
June, Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto said on Friday.
Both houses of Congress will reconvene on May 23 for a three-week session that will
end on June 10, or 20 days before the new president is sworn into office.
Call it midnight laws or whatever. The fact remains that we, in Congress, can work
overtime if need be, just to ensure the passage of the bills on 4Ps and Coco Levy,
Recto said in a statement..

And to expedite the passage of the twin measures, the senator proposed that legislative
members who are gunning for the top two positions in government should be united
behind its passage.
Lahat sila, pareho naman ang sinasabi sa sorties, debates and interview na dapat
isabatas ang pagsasauli ng coconut levy at gawing permanente ang Conditional Cash
Transfer (CCT) program, o yung Programang Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino (4Ps) (All
of them are saying the same thing in their sorties, debates and interviews, that the
release of coconut levy and the need for the permanence of the Conditional Cash
Transfer [CCT] program, or Programang Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino [4Ps] should
be enacted into laws). Theyre reading from the same page, Recto said..

There is still time to pass the two bills before the curtains fall on this Congress. And
all the actors in the presidential and VP race are either members of the Senate or the
House, or have kin in the Senate, or have a senator as running mate, he said.
He noted that presidential candidates Grace Poe and Miriam Defensor Santiago are
both incumbent senators while Vice President Jojo Binays daughter, Nancy, is a
sitting senator like Alan Peter Cayetano, running mate of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo
Digong Duterte.
Aside from Cayetano, Recto said, four other vice presidential candidates are
incumbent senators and they are Gregorio Gringo Honasan II, Binays running
mate; Francis Chiz Escudero, who teamed up with Poe; Ferdinand Bongbong
Marcos Jr., running mate of Santiago; and independent candidate Antonio Trillanes IV,
who is supporting Poe.
The sole member of the House of Representatives in the vice presidential race is
Camarines Sur Representative Ma. Leonor Leni Robredo, running mate of
administration bet, former Interior Secretary Manuel Mar Roxas II.
Si Leni representative ni Mar. Si Binay dalawa kinatawan, si Gringo at si Nancy
(Leni is Mars representative. Binay has two representatives Gringo and Nancy),
