PRESS BRIEFING. House Deputy Majority Leader and Iloilo 1st District Rep. Janette Garin fields questions from reporters during a press conference at the House of Representatives. Ver NovenoThe recent Pulse Asia survey showing just eight percent of Filipinos favor Charter change or “Cha-cha” only highlights the need for a plebiscite, a lawmaker said Monday.
“Awareness will increase. People will know about the subject before they vote. People will be able to decide intelligently,” Garin added.The plebiscite would also make voters learn more about the limits of the Constitution and their authority to approve or reject amendments, the Iloilo solon added. House Majority Leader Manuel Jose Dalipe of Zamboanga City, Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Gonzales Jr. of Pampanga, and Deputy Speaker David Suarez of Quezon maintained the potential benefits of amending the restrictive economic provisions in the 1987 Constitution in the wake of the Pulse Asia survey.
“If you are an investor who owes you billions of capital, let’s say, electricity, water or internet connectivity. If you are going to put up your power plant, whether it be renewable energy or not, if that land is not yours, what will happen to your investment there?” Garin asked. “While we acknowledge the survey results, we cannot ignore the pressing issues that require legislative action,” he pointed out.
Meanwhile, Suarez outlined the significance of focusing on economic provisions and dispelling misconceptions surrounding the latest Cha-cha initiative.
