The controversial Resolution of Both Houses 6 that proposes to amend the 1987 Constitution was not included in the Senate’s priority measures on the last stretch of the second regular session of the present Congress.
MANILA, Philippines —
Angara’s committee has so far conducted four public hearings on Feb 5, 12, 20 and March 5, which tackled the general provisions of the proposal to amend specific economic clauses of the Constitution. The first four public hearings were attended by legal luminaries, business executives and representatives from the education sector.
He added that the Senate has tabled for discussion the proposal to revive the Reserve Officers Training Corps with specialization. He said the Armed Forces of the Philippines has designed the proposed ROTC based on expertise. The military and other uniformed personnel pension scheme was also included in the priority measures.
Estrada emphasized that the proposed reform seeks to strike a balance between the concerns of economic managers regarding tight fiscal limitations and the constitutional mandate of the military. The reform recognizes the unique nature of the work undertaken by uniformed personnel, who constantly face significant risks to their lives.
