House bill proposes ban on ‘cong-tractors’Workers do renovation works around the House of Representatives within the Batasang Pambansa Complex in Quezon City on July 3, 2024. The NUP is also proposing to the House leadership to include the ban in the current House rules to deter lawmakers from contracting infrastructure projects. Both in the proposed bill that we proposed and at the House rules. But here in the House, once it is accepted by the House and included in the House rules, that will be over. It will be implemented once accepted by the leadership of the House to include it in the House rules,” Puno said.
