    The document outlines the legislative process that a bill undergoes in the Philippines. It shows that a bill can be proposed by various entities and is first filed with the Secretary-General of either the House of Representatives or Senate. It then goes through three readings in each chamber, where it can be amended or voted on. If approved, it is sent to the other chamber for three readings. If conflicts arise, a bicameral conference works to reconcile differences. Once approved by both chambers, the bill is submitted to the President, who can approve it, veto it, or do nothing and allow it to become law automatically after 30 days.
