At yesterday's session, I delivered a privilege speech on the sudden increase in airport terminal fees. I also authored two Resolutions, seeking the suspension of the increase in airport terminal fees, and the devolution of land transportation franchising to local governments.

In the absence of the chair of the Committee on Housing, I was asked to present six committee reports - three miscellaneous sales applications, two special use permits for cemeteries, and a deed of donation for a subdivision open spaces and road lots. I sponsored six Resolutions and one Ordinance for these committee reports.

Re-opening of the Chinese consulate

I have rewritten my Resolution seeking the re-opening of the Chinese consulate in Davao City. It is now in my wiki with two comments. Please send in yours.

I hope to present it at the City Council on August 14.
