DUTERTE

RODRIGO DUTERTE
This year, he was able to pass a law that will cut the red tape in dealing with
different agencies in the Philippines, streamlining the process, making it easier
and speedier in accomplishing works. The President signed the Ease of Doing
Business Act last May, requiring government agencies to act on applications
within three days for simple transactions, seven days for complex ones and 20
days for the highly technical applications.
JUNE 30, 2016 –
Another measure that he turned into a law last year was the Anti-Hospital Deposit
Law. This does not necessarily cut the cost on hospital bills, but it can save lives
during medical emergencies.
Republic Act No. 10932, otherwise known as the Anti-Hospital Deposit Law
provides that “in emergency or serious cases, it shall be unlawful for any hospital
or medical clinic to request, solicit, demand or accept any deposit or any other
form of advance payment as prerequisite for administering basic emergency care,
for confinement or medical treatment, or to refuse to administer medical
treatment and support to any patient.”
Tertiary education in the Philippines is now within reach, even for the poor. Not
only will this even out the playing field for the younger generation to achieve a
good education, it will also lessen the burden of the parents and students who are
struggling their way through college.
