Good news for the nation!
Senator Robin Padilla welcomed a new resolution filed in the Senate to review some economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution, even as he hopes this will finally lead to national progress.
“Magkakaroon na po ng bagong sigla ang ating ekonomiya tungo sa pag-unlad ng buhay ng mga Pilipino.”
“Napakagandang balita po ito para sa Bayan. Magkakaroon na po ng bagong sigla ang ating ekonomiya tungo sa pag-unlad ng buhay ng mga Pilipino,” said Padilla, who chairs the Senate committee on constitutional amendments and revision of codes.
The legislator said he has long been pushing for reforms to the Constitution’s economic provisions so that investments from abroad can come in and lead to jobs and other economic opportunities for Filipinos.
“The Senate’s new effort to revisit the Charter shows I was on the right track when my committee filed a report on proposed amendments to the 1987 Constitution.”
The lawmaker also said the Senate’s new effort to revisit the Charter shows he was on the right track when his committee filed a committee report on proposed amendments to the 1987 Constitution.
In March 2023, the senator’s committee issued a committee report citing the merits of seven economic amendments to the Charter, after conducting hearings on the matter in the provinces.
However, no other senator signed the report then, and it was not tackled in plenary.
