In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has yet to show signs of subsiding, workers and students took to the streets in a number of big cities in the country on Oct. 8 to oppose the Job Creation Bill, which was made under an omnibus concept. On Oct. 5, the House of Representatives passed the bill into law. However, the new law needs the President’s approval. After that it will officially be promulgated in the state gazette and be given a number.
An omnibus law is a form of law that regulates various complex subjects, which are then put together in a single legal instrument. Omnibus laws generally supersede existing regulations because they need to be mended. This has made the Job Creation Bill a giant law, consisting of 812 pages with 1,244 articles.
