Aquino Vetoes Bill On Internally Displaced Persons

AFTER killing a measure that seeks to provide benefits for centenarians, President Benigno Aquino 3rd has vetoed yet another bill that aims to give protection to internally displaced persons (IDPs).

The bill, which Congress passed in February, would have been called “An Act Protecting the Rights of Internally Displaced Persons and Providing Penalties for Violations Thereof and for Other Purposes.”
