Two of the country’s legal luminaries clashed on Tuesday on the interpretation of how the Senate should treat the pending bills on media giant ABS-CBN’s application for franchise renewal. | CMRamosINQ

“It is best to hear the final sense of the House of Representatives. In other words, the Senate should await for that bill already in its final form. That bill which already contains and expresses the wisdom of the members of the House. I think that is the more appropriate step to take,” Puno told senators.

“If we are going to follow the Chief Justice’s position, we’ll become too rigid in our legislative functions,” he added. Enrile interjected and told Puno: “Revenue laws applies to the country in general, the Constitution simply says it must originate form the House. If your theory is correct, will the Senate stop working and just wait there without studying the revenue laws or appropriation laws that are coming to it?”
