[Title] => Dual citizenship, absentee voting bills face rough sailing
[Summary] => The Absentee Voting Bill and a complementary measure, the Dual Citizenship Bill, face rough sailing in the House of Representatives.
"With only two weeks remaining of our first year-long regular session, I doubt whether we can approve these two measures," Majority Leader Neptali Gonzales II said yesterday.
He said many of his colleagues have serious reservations about the two measures that seek to give millions of overseas Filipinos the right to vote in national elections and to give former Filipinos the privilege to reacquire Philippine citizenship.

[Title] => Voting rights for 7 M overseas Pinoys in place this June
[Summary] => ROME – The bill seeking voting rights for more than seven million overseas Filipinos, half of them workers, will be enacted before the next adjournment of Congress in June, Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. said here yesterday.
"We will try to approve it late next month. But definitely, the Absentee Voting Bill will be passed before the next break in early June," he told Manila-based reporters who covered the joint Senate-House consultations with Filipino workers here on the measure.
