MANILA -- Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez appealed to the Senate to prioritize the passage of a bill that will raise taxes on tobacco and alcohol, saying there was enough time to do so before lawma

kers go on break, according to a statement from his office Sunday.

Senate President Tito Sotto said last week that the chamber would exert its "best effort" to pass the measure while short on time. The 17th Congress will adjourn on June 6 to give way to the 18th Congress, which will open on July 22. Dominguez said the President was ready to certify the measure as urgent once the Senate signs off on the report of its tax-writing committee.
