In an interview with radio DWIZ, Dela Rosa said he has been in talks with the United States representatives regarding his visa.
“There are favorable developments. We have been in contact with people and we are in discussions. Their chargé d’affaires, the deputy ambassador, has been nice, very nice, and we have been talking,” Dela Rosa said.
Pressed when his visa will be granted, he said: “I don’t have it yet, but at least our discussions are good so far.”
“Sen. Manny Pacquiao might have a fight there soon, and we might missed the chance to watch if I don’t have a visa,” he said in a jest

Committee on Constitutional Amendments and Revision of Laws
Thank you Mr. Chairman. Thank you for allowing us to have an opening statement. I indeed prepared an opening statement and I d like to thank the committee for allowing the public hearing of our resolution and the resolution filed by Sen. Lacson yesterday. This is my opening statement which I prepared. We, the sovereign Filipino people - the Preamble of the 1987 Constitution starts with these five words. As a vision for the succeeding provisions of the fundamental law of our land, this phrase we, the sovereign Filipino people does not only put forth the direction for our Constitution, it also affirms our identity as a citizenry.

“We, the sovereign Filipino people” – the Preamble of 1987 Constitution starts with these five words. As a vision for the succeeding provisions of the fundamental law of our land, this phrase “we, the sovereign Filipino people” does not only put forth the direction for our Constitution; it also affirms our identity as a citizenry.
Historically, we have had six Constitutions since the Proclamation of Independence on 12 June 1898. We continue to flourish as a nation with a strong tradition of constitutional government. The Malolos Constitution, the first Philippine Constitution, was, in fact, the first republican constitution in Asia.
