The Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council has included the passage of the bill amending Republic Act No. 8172 or the ASIN law of 1995 in its priority measures.
“I am very pleased that our proposed measure on the revitalization of the salt industry is part of the priority measures of the administration,” Salo said. Salo filed House Bill 1976 or the Philippine Salt Industry Development Act at the beginning of the 19th Congress as a measure to revitalize the local salt industry.
The bill includes provisions on the identification of areas suitable for salt production, the construction and lease of salt farms, and the grant of incentives to businesses linked to salt farming, among others.
