MANILA, Philippines — As the Senate moves to complete its committee membership and resume work on pending legislation, 26 of its 41 standing committees are still awaiting minority members.
As of Thursday, an updated committee membership list showed that 15 committees already have complete minority membership, while 26 remain marked “for election.”
The development came after Deputy Minority Leader Sen. Imee Marcos manifested their elected minority members for six committees during Wednesday’s plenary session.
Included in her manifestation are the Committees on Civil Service, Government Reorganization and Professional Regulation, Cultural Communities and Muslim Affairs, Culture and the Arts, Electoral Reforms and People’s Participation and Environment, Natural Resources and Climate Change.
