At least 97 incoming members of the House of Representatives, including 69 district representatives and 28 party-list nominees, are set to undergo an orientation and seminar on law-making.
This program is designed to familiarize new lawmakers with the basics of crafting legislation before the convening of the 20th Congress on July 28.
While primarily for neophytes, the orientation is also open to former members of Congress returning to the chamber.
House Secretary General Reginald Velasco noted that 97 is a significant number of first-termers this upcoming Congress.
The seminar, titled "Executive Course on Legislation," will cover the process and creation of laws.
The orientation sessions will be divided into two batches, with the first group attending from June 23 to 25, and the second from July 7 to 9.
Incumbent Congressmen have also been invited to share their legislative experience during the course.
