Amend the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184)

Assistant Majority Leader
House of Representatives

EDUCATION SOLON ASKS DEPED CHIEF TO SUBMIT SPECIFIC PROPOSALS VS HINDRANCES TO EFFECTIVE SPENDING
 
Considering that several bills seeking to amend the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184) are still pending at committee level, the House Appropriations Committee can still consider the request of Education Secretary Leonor M. Briones for an amendment that allows negotiated procurement after only one failed bidding.
 
However, to prevent abuse or machinations to cause a failed bidding, there must be safeguards and limitations.
 
I therefore ask Secretary Briones to present the DepEd position and proposed specific language on the safeguards and limitations that can be applied.
 
The Education Secretary has also called for changes to the Book Publishing Industry Development Act (RA 8047) and Guidance and Counselling Act of 2004 (RA 9258).
 
Noting that RA 8047 was enacted before the DECS was split into the DepEd, TESDA, and CHED, it is necessary for Congress to seek the inputs of all three key education agencies, including their proposed specific language for provisions they seek changes to.
 
It has been 22 years since RA 8047 became law and that is enough time for new situations and future challenges to have emerged. The education agencies might as well propose amendments that will address present-day concerns and future problems.
 
On RA 9258, Congress will also need DepEd and CHED inputs on the appropriate substitute to the masteral degree qualification for school guidance counselors. Would at least three years of hands-on work experience be enough or perhaps five years? Do CHED and DepEd have other qualifications to add to the minimum years of work experience requirement?
 
Congress is open to working on the requests of Secretary Briones, who enjoys wide, multipartisan support in the House of Representatives. (END)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
