“It is a blatant heresy for the House or any of its committees to act as a Constituent Assembly alone without the indispensable participation of the senators,” he said in a statement.
He explained that a Con-Ass mandatorily entails the convening of the House and the Senate in joint session to propose amendments to the Constitution. “Neither is there any mention about a constituent assembly in the Rules of the House of Representatives. Once Congress initiates the procedure to propose amendments to the Constitution it is deemed to have entered into the exercise of its constituent powers. There is no need for a prior act of organizing itself as a body exercising constituent powers,” he maintained.
Garbin explained that the procedure being taken by his House panel was based on the proposal made by some senators in the 17th Congress which provides that a joint session is not required and that both houses can propose amendment to the Constitution using the regular lawmaking procedures. In a statement, the group said TANGGO is what the people need at this time amid the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
Si Lagman ay kuya ni Popoy Lagman na dating NPA na napatay ng mga pulis noong dekada 80. Kaya galit siya sa mga militar at pulis. Supporter siya ng CPP NDF NPA. NOT O COMMUNISM NO TO ATHEISM NO TO TERRORISM
