Rep. Luis Raymund Villafuerte Jr. urges senators to swiftly deliberate on their version of bills pushing for the initiative to give the Commission on Elections time to prepare for the election of constitutional convention delegates on Oct. 30. /PDI
According to Villafuerte, if the Senate votes down charter change, “we in the House would respect such a decision by a majority of our senators and let this latest initiative on constitutional reform kick the bucket.”
On Tuesday, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed on its third and final reading the enabling bill for Resolution of Both Houses 6, which calls for a hybrid constitutional convention that would tackle amendments to or the revision of the Constitution. “No less than the Senate president disclosed that the Senate cannot muster the extraordinary requisite vote to join the House in calling for charter change via a con-con,” he added.Hataman expressed a similar view as he asked: “Why are we attempting to pass an implementing law for RBH 6 when as it is right now, it is not yet ‘implementable,’ so to speak, because it still lacks Senate approval?”
