A bill authored by Rep. Exequiel B. Javier of Antique seeks to recapture the power over tariffs which Congress conditionally ceded to the President in 1957 and completely lost in 1976 following the issuance of a Presidential Decree which vested the power to set tariffs on the President.


Javier noted that tariff setting is a question of policy which has a deep impact on the economy.
