Zubiri assures House he will ‘keep an open mind’ on Charter change READ MORE:
“Senate President Migz personally assured me that he will keep an open mind on the move by the House of Representatives to institute economic reforms through constitutional amendments,” said House Speaker Martin Romualdez after his phone conversation with Zubiri.
Romualdez, however, said he was informed by Zubiri that his colleagues are contemplating on re-scheduling the Senate committee hearing scheduled today. Despite lack of support for constitutional amendments among his colleagues, Padilla said he will continue to advocate the amendment of seven provisions of the 1987 Constitution which he believes will spur economic development.
“In the bill, we are giving the constitutional convention seven months to finish its job. The deadline is the best proof that we want this effort to be limited to the economic provisions. Rewriting the other parts of the Charter would entail a longer, perhaps an open-ended period,” he said.
