ONLY eight out of the 1,712 measures filed were approved during the First Regular Session of the Fifteenth Congress, the House of Representatives reported on Monday.
In their Performance Report, the House said that of the eight measures approved, one was a House joint resolution.
Among the approved measures was the highly debated Synchronization of Elections and Term of Office of the Elective Officials in ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) to coincide with National and Local Elections, or Republic Act (RA) 10153.
