It always feels weird for me when the PH president exercises a line item veto, since presumably Congress has balanced the bill as a whole. This is an unusual power, Wikipedia only lists 3-4 countries that allow line item vetoes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-item_veto
Quoted manilabulletin's tweet:READ: President Duterte vetoed nine items in CREATE law, including hike in VAT threshold on real property sale, redundant incentives for domestic enterprises; automatic approval of incentive application (π·: Roque) | @GenKabiling
Note that the PH isn’t one of those listed in the Wikipedia article! I think I’ll attempt to edit Wikipedia today.

@roytang In some cases, this is good, too, as Congress is fond of doing riders - specially on budget related bills.
