It s now or never for amendments to economic provisions of 1987 Constitution

House Deputy Speaker Bernadette Herrera (Facebook) “If economic Charter reforms won’t push through this time, there’s no guarantee it will happen in the future,” the Bagong Henerasyon lawmaker said “This is the moment we have all been waiting for. It’s time to amend the restrictive economic constitutional provisions that have held back the country’s development for more than three decades,’’ she added. Herrera made the statement as she rallied support for Speaker Lord Allan Velasco’s Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) No. 2, which is up for plenary debates this coming week. Last Tuesday, the House Committee on Constitutional Amendments, chaired by Ako Bicol Rep. Alfredo Garbin Jr., adopted RBH 2 that seeks to add the phrase “unless otherwise provided by law” to specific provisions of the Constitution, which restricts foreign ownership and participation on certain investment areas and activities in the country.
