While the BEC applauds clearer rules on the one-third deduction cap, they’re pushing for amendments before the bill heads to the Senate, fearing the current draft leaves businesses vulnerable to costly legal battles or financial losses. With the original 1951 law long outdated, lawmakers are trying to modernize—but gaps remain, sparking urgent calls for balanced, practical reform.
