Both chambers of Congress have finally come to terms with the proposed amendments to the economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution, President Marcos said over the weekend.
The House of Representatives approved on Wednesday the merged measures of both chambers dubbed Resolution of Both Houses No. 7, which seeks to allow increased foreign ownership in vital industries. Pampanga Rep. Aurelio Gonzales Jr. said the House expects to approve the measure before they adjourn on Wednesday.
RBH Nos. 6 and 7 are both entitled “A Resolution of Both Houses of Congress proposing amendments to certain economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines, particularly on Articles XII, XIV and XVI.” The suggested principal amendments are the insertion of the phrase, “unless otherwise provided by law,” which would empower Congress to change present economic restrictions in the nation’s basic law and in the administration of basic educational facilities, and the addition of the qualifier “basic” in Article XIV.
“We’re convincing our colleagues to make sure we have the three-fourths vote on this measure. It’s ongoing. We’re on track,” said Zubiri, who joined the Philippine delegation in Prague.
