President Marcos will meet with Senate President Francis Escudero and Speaker Martin Romualdez to discuss Charter change efforts as well as priority bills of the administration.
“One of the agenda is Charter change,” said Tulfo, who is also the spokesman of the majority coalition in the House of Representatives. Escudero, who recently replaced Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri as head of the Upper Chamber, earlier said his position against amending the 1987 Constitution remains.“I will always answer if this will be raised … But it is not for me to volunteer about this to the President because he can obtain more extensive knowledge than what he will obtain from me,” he said in an interview on Tuesday.
The House of Representatives approved in March its own version – RBH No. 7. The proposed House and Senate changes are on the grant of legislative franchises to and ownership of public utilities in Article XII, the administration and control of basic educational facilities in Article XIV and ownership of advertising firms in Article XVI.
