Essential Escudero 01: The Senate Committees

Jan 15, '08 8:01 AM
for everyone

Senator Francis Escudero is one of the youngest members of the 14th Congress. Of the 36 permanent committees, the Sorsogoanon chairs:

Justice and Human Rights
Ways and Means

The Committee on Ways and Means is considered as one the most powerful committees in the Congress.

Of the 22 Oversight Committees, Escudero chairs the following:

Oversight Committee on the Proper Implementation of the National Internal Revenue Code
Oversight Committee on the Official Development Assistance (ODA) Law
Joint Congressional Oversight Committee on the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act

Last year, Manila Times reported that the neophyte senator is the most productive lawmakers in terms of churning committee reports.

I quote, "Escudero, a first-time senator, came up with nine of the 30 committee reports filed before the Senate went on holiday recess. These are the Anti-Torture Act, the Forfeiture Law, Decriminalizing Vagrancy, Judicial and Bar Council Reappointment, Compensation of Victims of Human Rights Violations, the imposition of stiffer sanctions on cell-phone theft, the Good Conduct Time Allowance to Prisoners, Rules in the Presentation of Suspects in Press Conference, and the Judiciary Retirement Benefits. A committee report is the product of public hearings conducted on related bills that it consolidates. It is the one sponsored and debated in plenary, not the individual bills filed on first reading."

Just goes to show that he is working hard.
