TABUK CITY, Kalinga --
The House committee on appropriations approved House Bill 3267 that seeks
establishment of the Cordillera Autonomous Region.
Rep. Allen Jesse Mangaoang of Kalinga said the proposed autonomy law will be transmitted to the House committee on rules for the same to be calendared for plenary debates, approval on second reading, period of amendments and third reading.
He expressed hope the House committee on rules will calendar the bill for preliminary debates before Congress goes on its usual Holy Week break third week of March.
Mangaoang said since the proposed autonomy bill had been extensively deliberated and approved by the members of the 18th Congress, the measure will not encounter rough sailing in the 19th Congress.
Many Senate members pledged their support for the passage of the bill, according to the Kalinga solon.
Earlier, the House committee on local government and committee on ways and means approved the proposed autonomy law thus the bill was transmitted to the House committee on appropriations.
Mangaoang expressed hope the proposed autonomy law can be submitted to Cordillerans for ratification by 2024 so the Cordillera autonomous region can be established before the May 2025 midterm elections.
Based on a series of pulse surveys conducted by the Regional Development Council in the Cordillera, there was significant increase in the awareness of Cordillerans on the region's quest for autonomy.
