Leyte 4th district Rep. Richard Gomez will be among the three House leaders who will accompany Committee on Constitutional Amendments Chairman and Cagayan de Oro City 2nd district Rep. Rufus Rodriguez to the latter's high-stakes visit to the Senate.
Gomez and Padilla--popularly known by their respective nicknames "Goma" and "Binoy"--are two famous, contemporary actors who have successfully made the jump from showbiz to the political theater.
Rodriguez's unprecedented appearance before the Senate to essentially make a pitch for Cha-cha and the mode of a constitutional convention comes just days before Congress' scheduled six-week summer break. Needless to say, the impression that the House contingent will create before the senators will be crucial to the bid for constitutional revision, which began in the House.
“I will attend it . I will explain to senators and the public that our intention in our Charter change initiative, as repeatedly stated by Speaker Martin Romualdez, is to rewrite the economic provisions so the country could attract more foreign investments,” Rodriguez said last March 15. “That is our only objective. We do not want the other parts of the Constitution to be touched,” he added.related stories
