The House of Representatives on Wednesday, May 26 took a big step in amending the 1987 Constitution by passing on second reading a resolution calling for the revision of economic provisions of the 33-year-old Charter.
In a viva voce vote, Resolution of Both Houses No. 2 won second reading approval. Third reading is expected next week.
Sponsored by the House Committee on Constitutional Reforms chaired by Ako Bicol Partylist Rep. Alfredo Garbin, RBH No. 2 seeks to empower Congress to lift constitutional restrictions on foreign investments embodied in the Charter.
Under the legislative measure, the phrase “unless otherwise provided by law” ” will be added to sections in Articles 14 and 16 dealing with the control and ownership of alienable lands of public domain, natural resources, public utilities, educational institutions and mass media.

With just over a year left in the six-year term of President Duterte to pursue his Charter change bid, an ally in the House of Representatives said the renewed initiative for amendments to the 1987 Constitution will not likely succeed under a COVID-19 situation that continues to grip the country.

Anakalusugan Rep. Mike Defensor said that it is still “not the right time” for Charter reform that is being strongly pushed by staunch Duterte allies Senators Ronaldo de la Rosa and Francis Tolentino.
The two senators filed a resolution proposing to convene the two Houses of Congress into a Constituent Assembly to consider certain amendments to Charter provisions.
