Congress Ready To Pass ‘K-To-12’
Congress has assured that the “K-to-12” bill or the measure seeking to institutionalize the 12-year basic education cycle would be immediately passed on third and final reading when it buckles down to work next month.
Speaker Feliciano “Sonny” Belmonte Jr., one of the principal authors of the House Bill 6643, expressed the 284-man Lower Chamber’s readiness to pass the bill on third and final reading before Congress goes on Christmas break, which starts on Dec. 21 despite the strong opposition of party-list groups from the Makabayan bloc of the House.
