Miriam flays colleagues for sitting on key bills

SEN. Miriam Defensor-Santiago on Saturday said she was disappointed in her colleagues for not acting on several measures at the Senate, including the proposed Anti-Signage of Public Works Bill and Senate Bills No. 55 and 1580, which seek to ban political dynasties.

“I am disappointed. Without public clamor, these bills will never see the light of day. The committees to which these bills were referred are sitting on them,” Santiago said in a statement.
