MANILA, Philippines — “Common sense, real reform, and transparency” won in the agreement to genuinely abolish the Road Board, House Majority Leader Rolando Andaya Jr. said Wednesday. On Tuesday night, the Camarines Sur congressman met with Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri and Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto. The senator also expressed confidence that his colleagues would agree to recall the adoption of the House version of Road Board abolition and proceed with a bicameral conference committee meeting. The Senate passed Senate Bill No. In 2017, the President called on Congress to abolish the Road Board and transfer its functions to the appropriate department.
