Published January 15, 2021 2:28pm Amid deliberations of the so-called “economic” Charter change (Cha-cha) in the House of Representatives, Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez said it would be better if attention is focused on passing pending economic reform bills since there is only limited time to amend the Constitution. During the Laging Handa briefing on Friday, Lopez said the DTI is always in favor of easing restrictions on foreign ownership in several industries to further liberalize the economy. The Trade chief was asked on his stand on the resumption of deliberations on the proposed amendments to the restrictive economic provisions in the 1987 Constitution.
