The House of Representatives has completed 95 percent of its reorganization and will now buckle down to work on its priority, sin taxes, in hopes of raising up to P15 billion in annual revenue for the government, Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. said yesterday.


De Venecia described the allocation of committee chairmanships, vice chairmanships and memberships as "fair and equitable power sharing, responsibility sharing and burden sharing."

"We can elect and complete the reorganization of the Senate by Monday. We should be able to start work... meaning the committee hearings can start," Drilon told a press briefing after presiding a caucus of the majority bloc.


There were a few minor issues that still needed to be ironed out but they were not expected to cause any delays, Drilon said. He declined to elaborate.
