PBBM: Cha-cha not a priority Says many things to do first, still lawmakers to pursue public hearings READ MORE:
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said that Charter change is “not a priority” of his administration even as the heads of the House and Senate committees on constitutional amendments said they will continue holding public hearings and consultations on “Cha-cha” proposals.
Mr. Marcos acknowledged that talks on Charter change have surfaced “because of the economic provisions.” Padilla said the entry of foreign direct investments into the country would be limited unless the Constitution is changed. “We respect the opinion of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on constitutional amendment measures. We will of course consider it. But as an independent branch of government, the House of Representatives and Congress will proceed with its public dialogues on this issue,” he said.
