The Senate should work with the House of Representatives in ensuring that the proposed economic amendments to the 1987 Constitution will be subjected to a plebiscite or the people’s vote, House Deputy Speaker and Quezon lawmaker Jay-jay Suarez said Wednesday.
The Senate has yet to approve, even at the subcommittee level, its Resolution of Both Houses 6 , which amends the 1987 Charter by lifting the 40% limit on foreign ownership of public utilities, education and advertising sectors.The House of Representatives, on the other hand, is expected to approve its counterpart measure RBH 7 on third and final reading today, March 20, the last session day before Congress goes on session break until April 27.
“The House and the Senate should come together and discuss possible implications of RBH 6 and 7. Constitutional challenge is expected in this kind of unprecedented situation, so we are asking the Senate to make good of its commitment that it will deliver to this administration the measure to amend the restrictive economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution,” Bongalon said, referring to the commitment made by Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri.
