Bamboo bill's passage in Senate gains support

THE Philippine Bamboo Industry Development Council (PBIDC) has sent a letter to Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri, asking that more stakeholders be allowed to physically attend hearings on the 'Bamboo Bill' as a means of rallying support for its approval.

In an interview on Saturday, PBIDC Executive Director Rene Madarang said stakeholders want to show support for the immediate passage of Senate Bill (SB) 605 or an 'Act Institutionalizing the Philippine Bamboo Industry Development Program.'
