Two House lawmakers on Monday filed bills seeking to require eateries to offer half-cup rice options to their customers.
MANILA -
Tan's bill requires half rice as 100 grams of cooked rice and this bill penalizes those who fail to provide the option with P5,000 for the first offense, P10,000 for the 2nd offense, and P20,000 for the 3rd offense as well as the suspension of license or permit to operate for 30 days for the 3rd offense and subsequent offenses.
Tan said his proposal is a refiled version of previous proposals by then-Senator now President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in the 16th Congress and Quezon Rep. Helen Tan in the 17th Congress.
