Amending the 1987 Constitution through a constitutional convention would be a "disservice" to Filipinos as it would cost billions of pesos, Presidential Legal CounselJuan Ponce Enrile said Wednesday.
A former Senate president, Enrile also warned against the Resolution of Both Houses passed by the House of Representatives. "My god! We are not that rich to be throwing away money for a simple amendment of the Constitution," he said. "There is nothing esoteric with these amendments that the experienced legislators cannot do."
Enrile attended the hearing of the Senate Committee on Constitutional Amendments and Revision of Codes on the House-approved Resolution of Both Houses, which seeks to amend the Charter via con-con. Moreover, the former Senate president expressed full support to Senator Robin Padilla’s resolution seeking to amend the restrictive economic provisions of the Charter that he tagged as "antiquated."
