Camarines Sur Rep. Luis Raymund Villafuerte expressed hopes that the 19th Congress–in its last regular session–will finally approve the medical cannabis bill which proposes to provide some relief to sufferers of severe ailments.
Villafuerte is a lead author of HB 10439, which was approved recently by the House of Representatives by a vote of 177-9 with nine abstentions. “With the House’s final approval of HB 10439, the only thing needed now is for the Senate to pass the counterpart medical cannabis bill that is pending in the chamber, so we can hammer out a consolidated bill for submission to, and enactment into law by, President Marcos this third and final session of the 19th Congress,” said Villafuerte, a longtime advocate of the legalization of CBD oil strictly for medical purposes only.
