“Ito ay ang assumption natin walang magtatanong o konti lang ang magtatanong, pero kung mahaba yung pagtatanong at mahaba yung pag a-amenda, tutulak ito ng susunod na linggo at pinakamahalaga dito ay masarado agad on third reading not later than on Wednesday sana para weekend bicam, then the following weekend, ratification,” he added.

After that, a period for amendment on the excise bill may open on Wednesday that would lead to bicameral conference and ratification over following the weekend.
