The Philippine Senate has approved a new law banning the development, production, and use of chemical weapons, strengthening the country’s commitment to international security.
The law aligns the Philippines with global conventions aimed at eradicating chemical warfare and safeguarding citizens from its threats.
It also outlines penalties for violators, including hefty fines and imprisonment.
This move is part of the government’s efforts to modernize its defense and security policies amid growing global concerns over chemical weapons.
Senators hailed the passage of the bill as a step forward in promoting peace and protecting public health.
