The House of Representatives junked the motion of Albay Representative Edcel Lagman to stop the deliberations on the resolution calling for a constitutional convention (con-con) to amend the 1987 Constitution. Lagman's motion was defeated via voice vote.
The House of Representatives on Tuesday junked the motion of Albay Representative Edcel Lagman to stop the deliberations on the resolution calling for a constitutional convention to amend the 1987 Constitution. Before this, Lagman tried to convince his colleagues to suspend the deliberations on the resolution, arguing that any moves to amend the Constitution must involve the Senate.
Lagman said that under Article 17 of the Constitution, "Congress" refers to both chambers of the House of Representatives and the Senate. However, Cagayan de Oro Representative Rufus Rodriguez, chairperson of the constitutional amendments panel, said that a joint session is not required. "There is no requirement for a joint session to be called before we approve a resolution, either calling for a constituent assembly or for a con-con," he added.
