Robredo backs consultative panel to review Constitution

VICE President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo is in favor of the creation of the 19-strong Consultative Committee to review the 1987 Constitution en route to introducing amendments that would pave the way for establishing a federal government.

“This is a welcome development because in recent weeks, it has been a little alarming because there is the impression that this is being rushed with the House of Representatives immediately approving itself as Constituent Assembly,” Robredo said in her weekly radio program “Biserbisyong Leni.”
