Left asks SC to stop Train

LEFTIST lawmakers at the House of Representatives filed a petition before the Supreme Court on Thursday challenging the implementation of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (Train) Law, citing lack of quorum that rendered the approval of the measure “unconstitutional.”

The militant bloc claimed the Train Law was “ratified by the House of Representatives and enacted by the President in violation of the Rules of the House of Representatives and the 1987 Constitution,” as there was clearly a lack of quorum in the plenary during the ratification on December 13, 2017.
