Decision Date: Aug 20, 2015

Republic Act No. 10670 names the diversion road in Tacloban City, Leyte after Gov. Benjamin "Kokoy" T. Romualdez, with the Department of Public Works and Highways responsible for implementation, and the law taking effect after fifteen days of publication in the Official Gazette.

Law Summary

Implementing Authority

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is tasked with the issuance of necessary rules, orders, and circulars to effectively enforce and implement the renaming of the diversion road.
This ensures standardization and consistency in the application of the Act's provisions.

Effectivity of the Act

The Act becomes effective fifteen (15) days after its publication in the Official Gazette.
This publication requirement ensures public awareness and formal notice of the change.

Legislative Process and Approval

The Act originated from the House of Representatives and was approved by both the House (December 1, 2014) and the Senate (June 1, 2015).
It lapsed into law on August 20, 2015, by virtue of the Constitution's provision allowing a bill to become law without the President's signature after a specific period.

Constitutional Basis

The lapse into law without the President’s signature is in accordance with Article VI, Section 27(1) of the 1987 Philippine Constitution.
This affirms the constitutional mechanism that ensures legislative measures are enacted even in the absence of presidential assent.
