MANILA, Philippines — Congress should let President Rodrigo President decide on the measure seeking to abolish the corruption-plagued Road Board, Senator Franklin Drilon said on Monday. The lower chamber for its part approved House Bill 7436 in May. Later the same day, however, the lower House passed a motion that voided its version of the proposed measure, placing the Road Board abolition in limbo. In 2017, the President called on Congress to abolish the Road Board and transfer its functions to the appropriate department. /eeRELATED STORY:Alvarez: House row with Diokno about control of road user’s taxRead Next
