Want to marry a Filipina? Bill seeks additional requirements on foreign boyfriends

But then it says in third chapter:

The House "approved" on second reading House Bill 2387 prescribing additional requirements for interracial unions after it received sponsorship in the committee on revision of laws chaired by Pangasinan Rep. Marlyn Primicias-Agabas.

Doesnt approved mean the same as passed ?

Yes ... you're right, it does ... I should be at this ungodly hour instead of slogging away here as if I were on nightshift.

Doesnt approved mean the same as passed ?

Yep, normally it does, but there again ... ... we're talking about the Philippines ...

... where, I believe most pieces of newly-approved legislation have, in turn, to be ratified by the Senate.

Hopefully, in this instance, my hunch proves correct.
