House approves RBH No. 7 as survey shows majority support for Cha-cha

The House of Representatives welcomed survey results showing that 52 percent of Filipinos support amending the 1987 Constitution.

House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez expressed encouragement at the 'pivotal shift in public sentiment' toward Charter change (Cha-cha), pledging to push for economic amendments.

Manuel Jose 'Mannix' M. Dalipe, House Majority Leader, underscored the widespread recognition among Filipinos of the need for reform and progress.

House Deputy Speaker David 'Jay-jay' Suarez welcomed the survey as a testament to the Filipino people's desire for meaningful reforms.

Janette Garin, House Deputy Majority Leader, said the findings provide a clear mandate for action, prompting members to renew their commitment to advancing Cha-cha initiatives in Congress.

On March 20, the House approved Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) No. 7, which seeks to amend restrictive economic provisions in the Constitution.

Speaker Romualdez emphasized that the survey indicates growing public support and readiness for constitutional reform, urging all parties to collaborate towards a more prosperous future.
