MANILA, Philippines — The House of Representatives unanimously approved on Wednesday the Relief Goods Free Transportation Act on its third and final reading. 5070 seeks to provide immediate relief for victims of natural or man-made disasters anywhere in the Philippines. “As humans can only last few days without food and water, relief operations are important. Sen. Manuel “Lito” Lapid also filed a similar measure in November that materialized in the form of Senate Bill No. “Transporting relief goods normally entails huge costs in freight, arrastre services, pilotage and other port charges,” he said in filing Senate Bill No.
