By Liezelle Soriano

MANILA — The deliberations on Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) No. 7 in the House of Representatives have been rescheduled for Monday, February 26, 2024. It was originally slated for Wednesday (21 Feb 2024).

RBH No. 7 mirrors RBH No. 6 filed in the Senate, focusing on amending the economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution.

“It (Committee of the Whole discussions on RBH 7) will be moved to Monday (26 Feb 2024) due to the availability of the resource persons [on that day]. As you know, the input from these resource persons is crucial to our endeavor,” stated Quimbo during a press conference.

“Since we will be conducting it in the plenary [as Committee of the Whole], the proceedings will be expedited,” Quimbo added.

Quimbo mentioned that foreign investors, business chambers, small enterprises, academics, economists, and the nation’s economic managers are among the resource persons.
