CONGRESSMEN on Wednesday asked the Senate to extend the legislative calendar until Oct. 13 to give the House of Representatives time to approve on final reading next year’s spending plan ahead of the congressional recess. The House floor approved House Resolution No. 320 via voice vote, seeking the Senate’s consent to extend its plenary session by one day beyond the scheduled Oct. 10 break. Congressmen last week opened floor debates on the record P6.793-trillion spending bill following 37 days of scrutiny at the House Appropriations Committee. “This extension is hereby sought in faithful compliance with the requirements of the 1987 Constitution,” the resolution stated.
