As legislative measures seeking to address people&#8217;s concerns are now starting to gather dust in Congress shelves, Kabataan Partylist Representative Raymond “Mong” Palatino filed Joint Resolution 30 which urges the leadership of both chambers of Congress to extend plenary session days until Thursdays, which would mean “more time to deliberate on socially-important legislation and to push for bills and resolutions that respond to the many diverse issues faced by our countrymen.”

&#8216;Basic problems of PH educ system to imperil educ reforms&#8217;
Kabataan Party-list Representative Raymond “Mong” Palatino today expressed apprehensions on the capability of the K to 12 reform program to improve basic education in the country given that the basic problems of shortages, underfunding, orientation, and access that continue to hound our education system remain unaddressed and wanting of genuine, long-term solutions.
As the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture started deliberating on proposed implementing laws of the K to 12 program, Palatino reminded education officials “not to get too carried ...]]></description>

		<title>Kabataan slams Aquino for inaction on higher educ costs, proposes six remedies to counter tuition problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
As classes are set to resume in the next few weeks, Kabataan Partylist Representative Raymond “Mong” Palatino today called on President Noynoy Aquino to “act with due haste on the yearly unabated tuition and other fee increases, a major national concern that cannot not be swept under the rug.”
“Every year, the government responds to the clamor for solutions to the high tuition rates and exorbitant school fees through empty promises and excuses. This year, Aquino&#8217;s silence and inaction on the issue of the highly commercialized state of education is more ...]]></description>

		<title>Youth solon calls on Congress to act on school fee increases, pass tuition regulation law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
KABATAAN PARTYLIST Representative Raymond “Mong” Palatino today sounded the alarm on the need for legislative intervention on the yearly school fee hikes, calling on the House leadership to prioritize the passage of tuition regulation bills seeking to control tuition and other fee increases.
The youth solon made the appeal during today&#8217;s Congressional hearing on tuition and miscellaneous fees, saying that the “blatant refusal of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to exercise its mandate of regulating school fees warrants an immediate congressional action in the form of a new law that ...]]></description>

KABATAAN Partylist Rep. Raymond &#8220;Mong&#8221; Palatino
May 7, 2012
Congress adjourned sessions last March 21 or 46 days ago. Sessions resumed today but we will adjourn again on June 7. The third regular session of the 15th Congress will begin on July 23.
Lack of quorum is often cited as the primary reason for the failure of the House of Representatives to deliberate and pass on time the government’s priority legislative agenda and other socially important legislative measures. Because of limited time, discussion of LEDAC bills is shortened and voting is often done ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		
There is no disputing that a wage hike is urgent and necessary. But as various labor groups, economists and government agencies put forward differing suggestions on how wages should be increased, Kabataan Partylist Representative Raymond Palatino today said an across-the-board P125 legislated wage increase nationwide is “the most humane, reasonable and responsive to the needs of the toiling masses burdened by the soaring prices of goods and services.”
The youth solon made the statement following various wage hike proposals made by different workers&#8217; groups and sectors: P90 from the Trade Union ...]]></description>
