PHILIPPINE STAR/KRIZ JOHN ROSALES

SUPPORTERS of economic amendments to the Constitution took to the floor at the first plenary session on the second reading of the Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) No. 7 following committee deliberations.

“Today, after more than a week of lengthy debates and discussion on Resolution of Both Houses No. 7, we will now vote for the approval on the Committee Report 985, which adopted Resolution of Both Houses No. 7 without amendment,” Majority Leader and Zamboanga City Rep. Manuel Jose M. Dalipe said.

Mr. Dalipe has said that he expects plenary proceedings on RBH No. 7 to be shorter than the two weeks it took to discuss the liberalization of certain economic provisions in the Constitution at committee level. — Kenneth Christiane L. Basilio
