MANILA\u00a0<\/strong>— The Senate would resume hearings on the proposed revision of the 1987 Constitution on January 17 (Wednesday), 9 a.m., Senator Francis Pangilinan said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Pangilinan, chair of the Senate committee on constitutional amendments and revision of codes, said that the Senate would tackle three bills on amending the Constitution namely:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Resolution of Both Houses No. 1 by Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon<\/li>\n
  • Joint Resolution No. 1 by Senator Richard Gordon<\/li>\n
  • Senate Bill No. 128 by Senator Miguel Zubiri.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Through discussions, Pangilinan said that he would also want to find out if there was really a need to amend the Constitution and the reasons for amending it or not.<\/p>\n

    Pangilinan stressed that if there was indeed a need to amend the Constitution, they should also determine which parts should be revised and find out why.<\/p>\n

    He also wanted to know if the revisions should take the constitutional assembly (con-ass) or the constitutional convention (con-con) mode.<\/p>\n

    Moreover, he said that it was important to settle once and for all if voting on the Constitution should be done by the Senate and House of Representatives jointly or separately.<\/p>\n

    He said that he also raised the question on whether Congress could pass a resolution limiting the power of the con-ass or con-con or were their powers plenary.<\/p>\n

    Expected to attend the hearing are constitution experts, members of the academe, business sector, labor, civil society, and other concerned stakeholders.<\/p>\n
