Senator Imee Marcos emphasized the necessity for the Senate to adopt a clear stance on the proposed amendment to the 1987 Constitution.
“It’s essential because it seems like the Senate is being bypassed. Can it be that the Constitution will be changed, and they’re the only ones talking about it? It’s quite unclear,” Marcos expressed.
The lady senator mentioned that the Senate held an executive session on Wednesday to discuss the push for using people’s initiative to amend the 1987 Constitution.
“I wasn’t able to attend the executive session, but I know it’s related to the people’s initiative because the senators are quite busy with the events, and it caught them by surprise,” she explained.
Earlier, Albay 2nd District Rep. Edcel Lagman revealed that a P14 billion item was added to the 2024 General Appropriations Act in the bicameral conference committee to fund the Charter Change.
