Staunch Charter change supporter Camarines Sur 2nd District Rep. LRay Villafuerte hopes senators can find time within the session break to review the constituent assembly proposal that Sen. Robin Padilla’s committee put forward. | GabrielLaluINQ
Villafuerte in a statement on Wednesday referred to the committee report submitted by Padilla, who chairs the Senate’s Committee on constitutional amendments. Padilla last Friday released the unnumbered committee report containing the panel’s version of Charter change, which proposes a constituent assembly.
“We are hoping our senators, especially the members of the Senate committee on constitutional amendments and revision of codes, can find time during our recess to consider the report of its chairman, Sen. Robin, endorsing constitutional reforms to do away with our 1987 Charter’s economic provisions that have restricted foreign ownership of, or participation in, Philippine businesses,” Villafuerte said.
“The important thing is for us lawmakers to keep the ball rolling on constitutional reforms, in the hope that we can do away soon enough with the restrictive economic provisions of our 36-year-old Charter that have put off investors and impeded the inrush of FDIs ,” he noted.
Meanwhile, Resolution of Both Houses No. 6 and House Bill No. 7352 — approved by the House last March 6 and March 14, respectively — wants a hybrid constitutional convention where an elections would be held to identify members of the delegation.
