ANGARA COMMENDS THE INTRODUCTION OF RBH 7 IN THE HOUSE

By Liza Soriano

MANILA — Senator Sonny Angara has expressed his approval of the filing of Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) No. 7 in the House of Representatives, proposing amendments to the economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution.

Angara described this move as a positive step forward.

The senator was among the authors of RBH No. 6, the counterpart of RBH No. 7.

“To be honest, we were ahead. So, that’s good. For me, the filing of RBH7 is a positive development,” Angara remarked.

“It’s beneficial because instead of engaging in conflicts or daily press conferences targeting the Senate, it’s better to have hearings on RBH7 and discuss it,” he added.

“Congressmen, on their part, have the advantage of being in their districts. Thus, they can consult with their constituents.”

The economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution, particularly Articles XII, XIV, and XVI, are the focus of RBH No. 6, which is currently under deliberation in the Senate.
