The senators want to see first the effects of the three new economic laws before supporting moves to amend the so-called restrictive economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution, Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva said Friday.
"Marami namang open don sa [amendment of] economic provisions pero ang nakikita ko rin sa aking pakikipag-usap sa kanila 'yung 'wait and see' doon sa mga pinasa nating batas," Villanueva said in an online interview with reporters.
The majority leader shared this when asked about Senator Robin Padilla's statement that Charter change has better chances in the Senate if they will limit it to the economic provisions. "We wanted to find out ito lang ba talaga ang paraan? Why not come up with another law if there is a need [for] one because again, we have yet to experience the effects of these laws that we just passed recently. Even the President himself made mention about it," he added.
"It looks like we have the same predicament ng Palasyo dito, karamihan sa miyembro ng Senado na, ito tingnan muna ang tatlong batas na napasa natin," he said.Despite this, the House of Representatives is still passing measures to amend the 1987 Constitution.
