That was fast! House to tackle RBH 7 Wednesday as Committee of the Whole
The 300-plus strong House of Representatives has constituted itself into a Committee of the Whole in preparation for its deliberation on Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) No.7.
RBH No.7 is an exact copy of the Senate's RBH No.6, which proposes amendments to Articles XII, XIV and XVI, focusing on the national patrimony, economy, education and general provisions of the 1987 Constitution.
It essentially seeks to ease the restrictive economic provisions of the existing Charter--a decades-long desire of the House members.
