Marcos inks laws boosting nuclear safety, strengthening Shari’ah courts

The first law creates a government body tasked with developing policies and regulations to ensure the safe, peaceful use of nuclear energy, aligned with international safety standards.

The second law improves access to Shari’ah courts, which serve the Muslim community in matters of personal law. It aims to streamline court processes and make legal services more accessible to eligible individuals.

Both laws require implementing rules and regulations from relevant agencies. The administration views these measures as part of ongoing efforts to modernize the country’s energy and legal systems, promote safety, and enhance access to justice.
