SAYING it is badly needed to boost the economy, Sen. Robin Padilla is seeking to persuade anew House of Representatives leaders to frontload enabling legislation for amending the Constitution’s “restrictive” economic features via Congress, through the Senate and the House of Representatives convening as a Constituent Assembly .
Padilla noted, however, that the preference of the House to amend the Constitution “through a constitutional convention may take years, while needing billions of pesos in funding.” Padilla, chairman of the Senate Committee on Constitutional Amendments and Revision of Codes, affirmed his preference to amend the Charter through a constitutional convention, but added: “Time is short to amend the Charter’s economic provisions, aside from the cost of a constitutional convention, which may cost some P11 billion.”
