Former Supreme Court Chief Justice Reynato Puno favors the revision of the entire 1987 Constitution.Puno had this to say before the House Committee on Constitutional Amendments, which held on Monday, Feb. 20 its seventh public consultation-slash-hearing on pro-Charter change measures filed in the current 19th Congress.
“The 1987 Constitution is good in the decades of the 80s and 90s, or the last decades of the 20th century. We have crossed two decades of the 21st century. The world in the last decades of the 20th century is a totally different world in the opening decades of the 21st century,” Puno said, providing perspective to his stance.
