“‘Yong mga indigenous people kailangan mo bigyan ng College degree dito Mr. Chair, so ‘yong qualifications dito babagsak na sila dito pa lang. Mr. Chair now sinabi natin we would want na inclusive sila ‘di ba? So, kung ganun ‘yong mangyayari and ia-appoint sila particularly yung mga tatamaan yung peasant, indigenous people ‘di ba,” Brosas added.
“It is a very critical provision that will determine the composition and membership of our proposed constitutional convention,” Gomez said, referring to qualifications under Section 3. Committee chair and Cagayan de Oro 2nd District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez meanwhile asked Gomez if he would be amenable to placing exceptions for the sectoral delegates from the marginalized sector.In reply, Gomez stood firm on his beliefs that college graduates must be tapped to make amendments or craft the new constitution, noting that there are members of marginalized sectors who are college graduates.
“Even those on the marginalized sector Mr. Chair, maraming mga mahihirap ang naka-graduate, nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Hindi naman lahat ng marginalized ‘di nakapagtapos eh. ‘Yon yung lumalabas sa discussion ngayong umaga,” Gomez answered.
