Magsasagawa na ng public hearing ang Senate Committee on constitutional amendments and revision of laws patungkol sa Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) No. 6 na nananawagan ng Con-con kung saan iminumungkahi nito ang pagbabago sa Charter’s economic provisions.
Inimbitahan umano si Cagayan de Oro 2nd District Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, ang tagapamuno ng house constitutional amendments committee ni Senate counterpart Robinhood Padilla upang dumalo sa gagawing pagdinig.
“I will attend it. I will explain to senators and the public that our intention in our Charter change initiative, as repeatedly stated by Speaker Martin Romualdez, is to rewrite the economic provisions so the country could attract more foreign investments,” ayon kay Rep. Rufus Rodriguez.
Aniya, ang tangging hangarin lamang umano ay bagohin ang sa economic provisions at wala nang iba pang gagalawin sa Konstitusyon.
Imumungkahi rin umano ni Rep. Rodriguez ang kay Speaker Romualdez ang House Bill No. 7352 kung saan ito ay inaprubahan nito lang sa Kongreso na agad maipadala sa Senado.
“In the bill, we are giving the constitutional convention seven months to finish its job. The deadline is the best proof that we want this effort to be limited to the economic provisions. Rewriting the other parts of the Charter would entail a longer, perhaps an open-ended period,” dagdag pa ni Rep. Rodriguez.
