MAYNILA - Sinertipikhan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte nitong Martes ang agarang pagpasa ng panukalang batas para sa pagtatatag ng Department of Overseas Filipinos.
Sa kaniyang liham na ipinadala kay Senate President Vicente Sotto III nit, sinabi niyang sinasertipikahan niya bilang urgent measure ang Senate Bill No. 1949.
Paliwanag ng Pangulo, ito ay para maibsan umano ang hirap ng mga Pilipino na nasa ibang bansa at magkaroon ng mekanismo para sa isang whole-of-government approach sa pagprotekta sa karapatan ng overseas Filipinos.
