The Senate is yet to ratify the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) due to some concerns on its effect on the agriculture sector, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said Tuesday.
In an interview with reporters, Zubiri said RCEP is among the topics that he discussed with President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and Speaker Martin Romualdez in a meeting over the weekend.
"Ang sabi ko naman kay Presidente, 'yung sa RCEP, I want to put in on the floor pero may concerns pa kasi si (Senator) Imee Marcos," he said.
