MANILA, Philippines — The Senate will create legislation that allows President Rodrigo Duterte to temporarily stop time frames under the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) which will ease processing time for doing business in government, two senators said Saturday. In an interview over radio station DWIZ, Senate President Vicente Sotto II said they thought of crafting a bill “without necessarily” amending the ease of doing business law. We can do that through a law without necessarily amending the Ease of doing business so maybe we must wait for our draft.) Meanwhile, Sotto said he will present this development to Duterte as well as House of Representatives leaders to pass a bill in relation to curbing red tape in government.
