Efforts to amend the 1987 Constitution appear to be facing an even greater hurdle at the Upper House with Senate President Francis Escudero at the helm.
While Escudero wouldn’t use Zubiri’s term “dead” to describe Cha-cha’s fate, he said his position against the push to ease restrictive economic provisions has not changed. Senator Juan Edgardo Angara, who has been presiding over the Cha-Cha hearings as chairperson of the subcommittee, also resigned from his post Monday after Zubiri’s ouster.
Meanwhile, the House leadership said it is looking forward to a “more harmonious” working relationship with the Senate under the stewardship of Escudero.
