Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 21) — The House of Representatives approved on third and final reading again the bill abolishing the Road Board on Thursday.

The vote was 180-0, with no abstentions.

The House earlier rescinded its passage of House Bill 7346 under the term of House Speaker Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Both the Senate and House passed the bill abolishing the Road Board when Davao del Norte Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez was House Speaker.

The Senate adopted the previous verison of the House bill. In this version, four trust funds managed by the Public Works, Transportation and Environment departments will be created.

The new version of the bill seeks to completely abolish the Road Board and remit motor vehicle user's charge collections to a special fund in the treasury for the construction, repair and rehabilitation of roads, bridges and road drainage. These projects would be included in budget bills.
