MANILA — Senator Sonny Angara stated on Monday (February 5, 2024) that discussions on Charter Change may wrap up by the last quarter of the year.
Angara clarified that there was no announcement that debates would conclude before the chamber’s Holy Week break.
“The deadline I have in mind is filing in October; by then, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) will need to finalize,” Angara said.
“This is the constitution we’re talking about, not ordinary legislation. We want comprehensive discussions and understanding of the scope and coverage,” he added.
On Monday, the Senate initiated deliberations on amending the economic provisions.
