Lacson said Occidental Mindoro – whose strategic economic potential was seen several centuries ago – could become a center for trade like Singapore, if it is given the proper road network and other development projects.

Eighteen bills filed by both houses of Congress are more than enough to reconcile and come up with a good Enrolled Bill. A lot actually depends on the committee chairpersons of the two chambers. If they want the measure passed into law, we can have a Land Use Act sooner than expected.
