Nasa plenaryo ng Kamara ang Resolution of Both Houses Number 7 na ang layon ay maamyendahan ang ilang probisyon ng Saligang Batas.

Binuksan na ang sponsorship at interpelasyon ng panukala, na partikular na layon na mapaluwag ang restriksyon ukol sa pamumuhunan sa public utilities ng mga banyaga, gayundin sa mga unibersidad at kolehiyo at sa industriya ng advertising.

Sinabi ni House Majority Leader Manuel Jose Dalipe na naniniwala na siya na ang pag-amyenda sa economic provisions ng 1987 Constitution ay makakatulong sa pag-unlad ng ekonomiya.

“With the increasing interdependence of world cultures and economies, the Philippines cannot remain indifferent, we must adapt and take advantage of the benefits that economic globalization offers and the positive effects it may bring to our country and the Filipino people,” sabi nito.

Binanggit pa niya na mismong si Pangulong Marcos Jr., ang may gusto ng “economic Charter change.”

“This moment in our nation’s history is more than just an opportunity. It’s a call to embrace progress, think beyond the present, and work collectively towards economic growth and stability,” dagdag pa ng mambabatas.

Dalipe pointed out that before the plenary sponsorship, the House Committee of the Whole spent six days of exhaustive and lengthy deliberations to hear a wide array of resource persons with multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary expertise.

“The hearings and deliberations conducted by the Committee of the Whole House of Representatives were testaments of our commitment to democratic consultations, where we have allowed everyone to express their views, be they for or against the proposed amendments,” he said.
