MANILA– Given voters\u2019 education is crucial in making sure Filipinos are aware of any proposed changes in the country\u2019s Constitution as it shift to federalism, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque on Saturday stressed the need to allot budget for a massive information campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cBago naman po tayo magkaroon ng plebisito, talaga naman pong yung voters\u2019 education ang importante,” he said.<\/p>\n

“So doon po sa budget na gagawin nila\u2026 para doon sa plebisito, importante po na maglaan din ng substantial amount nang maintindihan ng mga tao kung ano talaga ang ninanais nating baguhin sa Saligang Batas,” he said.<\/p>\n

The House of Representatives recently adopted a resolution convening the two chambers of Congress into a constituent assembly, which would be tasked to revise the Constitution to pave the way for a shift to federalism. After this, the proposed revisions would be submitted to and voted upon by the people through a national plebiscite.<\/p>\n

Roque for his part said a nationwide information drive would properly educate the public on the benefits of a federal form of government.<\/p>\n

By giving local governments power over their own resources, Roque said federalism opens more possibility in boosting regional development.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng Pederalismo po talaga ay kinikilala na ang mga benepisyo at ang serbisyo, mas mabilis maparating sa taong-bayan kung ito\u2019y ipadadaan sa mga pamahalaang lokal,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

The official was then asked to comment on House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez\u2019 threat that he would give zero budget to provinces whose leaders would not back the move to a federal government.<\/p>\n

While the chief executive is committed in pushing for federal form of governement, the executive branch will not meddle in Congress\u2019 discussions on its development, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng paninindigan po ng Presidente, hindi po siya nanghihimasok sa gawain ng Kongreso.<\/p>\n

Ito pong pagbibigay ng suhestiyon kung ano \u2018yung dapat marebisa sa ating Saligang Batas ay katungkulan pa rin ng ating Kongreso na umuupo bilang isang Constituent Assembly,\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n
