He also noted that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. had already certified as urgent House Bill No. 6517 that sought changes in the law, which was signed in April last year by then-President Rodrigo Duterte.

Last week, Zubiri said the Senate was “hell-bent” on approving the amendments in the first quarter of 2023. “I was not a member of the Senate when this was passed. We will invite the ranking officials to the committee hearing and hear their position or stand on the issue,” the administration senator said.
