MANILA — President Rodrigo Duterte has let 5 franchise bills lapse into law, according to the government's journal.
The 5 laws extend by 25 years the operating licenses of the following firms, as shown on the Official Gazette.
Republic Act 11512 - Caceres Broadcasting Corp
Republic Act 11513 - Century Communications Marketing Center, Inc
Republic Act 11514 - Tandag Electric and Telephone, Inc
Republic Act 11515 - Davao Light and Power, Inc
Republic Act 11516 - Negros Broadcasting and Publishing Corp
Bills are enacted into law when they are approved by both houses of Congress and signed by the President. The Chief Executive may veto a bill, but the House of Representatives may overturn a presidential veto by garnering a two-thirds vote, said the Official Gazette.
If the President does not act on a proposed law submitted by Congress, it will lapse into law after 30 days of receipt, it added.
