NI ROMEO ALLAN BUTUYAN II
HINIMOK ni Senior House member Robert Ace Barbers ang mga kapwa niya kongresista na pag-aralan muna mabuti ang intensyon ng inihaing Resolution of Both House (RBH) No. 6 ng Senado sa pangambanng maging mitsa lamang ng aberya sa isinusulong na pagbabago sa 1987 Constitution.
Pagbibigay-diin ni Barbers na tumatayong chairman ng House Committee on Dangerous Drugs, ang kritikal na isyu sa Charter Change (ChaCha) ay ang kaparaanan na gagamitin para maisakatuparan ito.
“The crux of this entire brouhaha is the mode of amendment or revision. Section 1 Paragraph 1 of Article 17 of the Charter expressly states ‘3/4 of all members of Congress’. Where will RBH 6 fall then? This is precisely the problem that the People’s Initiative intends to fix and clarify first. There is no other amendment mentioned in the PI. Once this is clear, only then can Congress proceed with further amendments,” sabi pa ng Mindanaoan lawmaker.
“Should we go ahead and consider RBH 6 and granting for the sake of argument that it passes, the method used by Congress in passing it may be questioned in the Supreme Court and may therefore put to waste all the resources and time spent on it,” dugtong ng mambabatas
Kaya naman ang panawagan ni Barbers sa kanyang mga kasamahan sa Kamara, pag-aralan munang mabuti ang naturang Senate resolution bago ito sang-ayunan at hayaan umusad ang People’s Initiative upang mabatid o marinig ang sentimyento ng buong sambayanang Pilipino hinggil sa isinusulong na economic ChaCha.
