With most solo parents bearing the burden of raising the family alone, a bill has been filed in the Senate calling for additional benefits in the form of discounts for purchases of milk, food, medicines, and clothing, and income tax exemption.
Senate Bill No. 1439 entitled "Solo Parents Welfare Act of 2010", filed by Senator Loren Legarda, seeks the following support and benefits for solo parents:
1. Ten percent (10%) discount from all purchases of clothing and clothing materials for the child from birth up to two years;
2. Fifteen (15%) discount from all purchases of baby's milk, food and food supplements;
3. Fifteen (15%) percent discount from all purchases of medicines and other medical supplements/supplies for the child; and
4. Basic personal exemption from individual income tax.

Well, i'm looking for school tuition fees discount or anything that have education in it hah! That's the most nakakaubos-yaman part, i think.
Will this, if passed into a law, reward or encourage unwanted pregnancies and the likes? Hmmm... I think it's in the regulation. There's reproductive bill naman if passed into law supposedly to take care of such things.
