The House of Representatives has approved on second reading the Resolution of Both Houses No. 6 calling for a constitutional convention to propose amendments to the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines.
Lagman reiterated that the constituent power of the Congress is exercised in three different modes, namely: acting as a Constituent Assembly directly proposing amendments to the Constitution; calling for a Constitutional Convention to amend or revise the Constitution; and submitting to the electorate the question of calling for a Constitutional Convention.
Last week, the House of Representatives started the plenary debates on Resolution of Both Houses 6 calling for a Constitutional Convention to propose amendments to the 1987 Constitution. This bill, if passed, will be the enabling law implementing RBH No. 6. The plenary will conduct separate debates on this bill.
The bill, meanwhile, said 20 percent of the total number of Con-con delegates from various sectors will be jointly appointed by the Senate President and House Speaker. The bill said the convention shall meet in the session hall of the House of Representatives on November 20. The President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall jointly preside at its opening until a presiding officer is elected by the convention among the delegates.
