There will be no constitutional convention (ConCon), as leaders of Congress have decided to transform the legislative body into a constituent assembly (ConAss) for the purpose of amending the 1987 Constitution.
“It was agreed that Congress will simply form a constitutional assembly to revise the Constitution. There is nothing to worry about because consultations with the people will be ensured,” Speaker Pantaleon “Bebot” Alvarez disclosed before the Management Association of the Philippines yesterday in Makati City.
