Do economic Cha-cha without any fuss - BBM

As lawmakers continue to lock horns over conflicting game plans for Charter change, President Marcos has decided to step in, directing them to proceed with their tasks “without any fuss.”

“Maybe I don’t proclaim but some were saying I need to intervene, I have been talking to both sides for a long time,” the President said in a media interview after attending the 16th Ani ng Dangal Awards in Manila.

“But you know, what for me is more important than these proclamations and pronouncements is to get it done. We do it quietly,” Marcos said.

“We just want to get those amendments incorporated into the Constitution to improve the chances of investment and upskilling of our people,” he stressed.

Asked if he is done with his consultations with legal luminaries and experts on the Constitution, Marcos responded, “Months ago.”

When pressed about his preferred method of amending the Constitution, the President said what he has been espousing from the beginning is for the Senate to take the lead.

“What’s happening now, I always said the Senate will take the lead. The Senate is taking the lead and between the two Houses they will come to an agreement, then that will be the way we’ll do it,” he said.

Marcos said the move to amend the Constitution has been decided long ago by both leaders of Congress.

“But I don’t know why there is such. It’s really a storm in a tea cup because this has been decided very long ago by the leaders of both Houses,” the Chief Executive said.
