MANILA — Senator Robin Padilla has expressed his appreciation for the new resolution filed in the Senate, which aims to review certain economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution.
“Napakagandang balita po ito para sa Bayan. Magkakaroon na po ng bagong sigla ang ating ekonomiya tungo sa pag-unlad ng buhay ng mga Pilipino,” Padilla said.
As the chair of the Senate Committee on Constitutional Amendments and Revision of Codes, Padilla emphasized that he has long advocated for reforms to the Constitution’s economic provisions to attract foreign investments to the country.
Padilla further highlighted that the Senate’s renewed effort to revisit the Charter affirms the direction set by his committee when it filed a committee report proposing amendments to the 1987 Constitution.
Earlier, Padilla filed a Resolution of Both Houses No. 5, seeking to amend Sections 4 and 7 of Article VI (Legislative Department); Section 4 of Article VII (Executive Department); and Section 8 of Article X (Local Government) of the Constitution.
