Senate Accounts Committee Hearing on the Senate Institute on Legislative Studies and Training Center
Sen. Lacson chairs the Senate Accounts Committee hearing on Senate Resolution 287, establishing the Senate Institute on Legislative Studies and Training Center.
Sen. Lacson’s preliminary statement at the hearing:
My mother used to tell me during my younger years to value education like no other. In order to remain competitive in this modern world, there is definitely a need to think new and do new. An economist, Ben Bernanke, once stated: “Research itself provides an important long-run perspective of the issues that we face on a day-to-day basis.”
It is for this reason that we are all gathered this morning to deliberate Senate Resolution 287, which seeks to establish the Senate Institute on Legislative Studies and Training Center (SILSTC) – probably pwede natin tawagin for brevity, Senate Institute – filed by no less than our Senate President, Sen. Aquilino Pimentel III.
