House seeks to revive half-rice bill

Was this ever enforced? Iirc this was first done under PNoy(?) days right?

It never became a law, as it remained a bill after getting stuck on the First Reading way back in 2013

This is an illustration how a bill becomes a law:

Blue is for the first house, which may be either Senate or the House of Representatives; Orange is for the second house, which is whichever isn’t the first house; and Green is for both houses.

Maybe it's because it was never really enforced by any establishment?

It can’t be enforced, since it never became a law. See my other comment on this post

This never became a law. There were deliberations on the chambers that became viral (simply because of the absurd premise), but that's about it.
