Submit travel report: Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda, who presides over the plenary deliberation of the proposed P128 million budget of the Climate Change Commission for 2023, Wednesday, November 16, 2022, says she will no longer ask questions being the presiding officer but requests the commissioners to submit a report on all their trips to the senators as well as the status of their negotiations and the inclusion of the loss and damage in the agenda for the Egypt talks. She also asked a report on the funds and projects accessed by the Philippine government since the beginning of the enactment into law and the creation of the commission. Legarda asked the commission to likewise submit the travel records of the technical advisors and consultants. “I think that should apply not just to the Climate Change Commission but to all agencies in the executive department so that whatever conferences they can attend can be used for policy,” Legarda said.
