00:00 The Commission on Elections can follow the prediction of the Charter Change in the 2025 midterm elections.

00:06 But as Comelec Chair George Garcia said, it's better to separate it so that people can understand the changes in the Constitution.

00:14 Breaking news, Tina Panganiban Perez.

00:17 Next week, the Camera's target to finish the deliberation on the resolution of both Houses 7

00:26 that will be able to amend the three economic provisions in the 1987 Constitution.

00:31 This is only one of the plans in the second reading from March 11 to March 13

00:37 and in the third reading before the Holy Week break on March 23.

00:41 But the Chacha will not be confused when the Senate did not approve

00:46 that they will not be able to hurry their deliberation.

00:50 According to one of the speakers in the 1987 Constitution,

00:54 former Supreme Court Associate Justice Adolfo Ascuna,

00:58 in the original draft, the form of the government is unicameral.

01:03 In the discussion, it became bicameral.

01:06 But the provision on the vote of the two houses has not changed.

01:10 Ascuna believes that the vote should be separated, as is done for ordinary laws.

01:17 As long as you have three-fourths vote in the Senate and three-fourths vote here, there's no question.

01:24 It can be considered as a proposed amendment and submitted to the Comelec for a plebiscite.

01:31 And that will fulfill the requirement of the first three-fourths vote of all its members.

01:40 And if there's any question, then let someone bring it to the Supreme Court.

01:44 To amend the Constitution,

01:47 the recommendation of former Supreme Court Justice Adolfo Ascuna

01:50 is to amend the provisions of the Constitution unless otherwise provided by law.

01:56 It makes it changeable by legislation.

01:59 This is, to me, the best solution to the economic provisions restriction

02:06 because economic provisions should be flexible and they should not be cast in stone.

02:13 But the former Supreme Court Chief Justice, Renato Puno, is fighting for this.

02:18 The use of the phrase "unless otherwise provided by law"

02:29 is vulnerable to another constitutional challenge.

02:36 According to Puno,

02:38 I suggested that we just repeal outright these three restrictive provisions

02:47 that will release the power of Congress to pass the necessary laws

02:54 in order to liberalize these so-called restrictive provisions.

03:01 There will always be the possibility of a constitutional challenge.

03:04 So the question before us now as lawmakers,

03:07 will we continue this if we know that this will be a challenge?

03:12 Of course, at the end of the day, this will still go home to the plebiscite.

03:16 If Congress agrees to amend the economic provisions,

03:20 Comelec will move to include it in the plebiscite.

03:23 For Comelec Chair, George Garcia,

03:26 the plebiscite can be included in the election,

03:28 but it's better if it's not included.

03:31 For me, as much as possible,

03:33 it's better for the national and local elections to be separated

03:36 and the plebiscite so that it can be more clear to the people

03:39 what is being changed.
