Following its approval at the committee level, the substitute bill will proceed to the Committee on Appropriations for fiscal review and evaluation. Upon favorable action, the measure will be endorsed to the Committee on Rules for scheduling of plenary deliberations. The bill will then undergo sponsorship, interpellation, and amendments during the Second Reading before being subjected to a final vote on Third Reading in the House of Representatives.
The committee's approval of the substitute bill marks a significant step toward strengthening the institutional framework of the SLP. Once enacted into law, the measure is expected to provide a stronger policy foundation for the program's implementation, ensuring the sustained delivery of livelihood assistance, capacity-building interventions, and economic opportunities for disadvantaged, marginalized, and vulnerable communities nationwide.
