Gift Check Non-Expiry Bill

IRR NG GIFT CHECK NON-EXPIRY ACT, PINAHAHANDA NA SA DTI PARA UMABOT SA PASKO
 
Yamang halos tiyak nang maisasabatas ang Gift Check Non-Expiry bill bago sumapit ang pasko, inudyukan ni Leyte 2nd District Congressman Henry Ong ang Department of Trade and Industry na asikasuhin na agad pag-draft ng Implementing Rules and Regulations nito para maramdaman na agad ng publiko ang bisa nito.
                                                     
Si Ong ang isa sa mga may akda ng bersyon ng Gift Check Non-Expiry bill sa House of Representatives.

Payo ni Ong, “Ang kailangan lang gawin ng DTI ay i-update ang Department Order No. 10-04, series of 2010, at ang iba pang kaugnay na kautusan ng DTI hinggil sa gift check at iyon na mismo yung pwede nilang i-adapt bilang IRR.”

“Kadalasan kasi, matapos maging epektibo ang isang batas, binibigyan pa ng 90 days ang isang departamento para gumawa ng IRR, pero sa kaso nitong Gift Check Non-Expiry Act, I don’t think the DTI needs three extra months to accomplish that. I-uupdate lang nila yung Department Orders nila. Dapat ding abisuhan na agad ang mga issuer ng GCs hinggil sa bill na malapit nang maging batas para bawas aberya. Kailangang madaliin na ito ng DTI para umabot sa pasko at mapakinabangan na agad ng publiko,” giit ni Ong.

Pag naging batas na ang panukala ni Ong, ipagbabawal na ang pag-issue ng mga gift checks, gift certificates, o gift cards na may expiration date. Nais tiyakin ng panukala na ang mga consumer ay di napagkakaitan ng halaga ng kanilang salapi hanggang sa huling sentimo gaya ng nakasaad na halaga sa gift check.

Ang discount para sa mga senior citizen at may kapansanan ay dapat pa ring i-aplay kahit na gift check ang ipambabayad, ayon sa panukala.

Nagkasundo na ang Kamara at ang Senado sa bicameral conference committee report at ipadadala na ito sa Malacanang para mapirmahan na ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.

Sa November 20, muling magbabalik sesyon ang Kongreso matapos ang ASEAN holiday. (WAKAS)

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.
