Cagayan de Oro City Rep. Rufus Rodriguez said he would push for the deferment of measures that seek to amend the Charter in order to allow Congress to focus on government efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19.

But Interior Secretary Eduardo Año, a key member of the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases , has distanced himself from the revived constitutional amendment effort, according to Rodriguez.

“The DILG welcomes the institutionalization of the BP2 program since this has always been our battle cry in our campaign for constitutional reform which is equal opportunities for growth and progress for all. It has been a fact that development is lopsided in favor of Metro Manila,” he said.A total of 12 resolutions are pending with the House committee on constitutional amendments.

The proposed “clinical amendments” also include a tandem election of the President and Vice President, as well as a ban on turncoatism and political dynasties.But with the current pandemic, Rodriguez said the campaign was a “waste of time, effort and money.”
