Ocampo, chairman of the Committee on Constitutional Amendments of the House of Representatives which was forwarded by the provincial governor to the Sanggunian requesting the official stand of the provincial board on the issue of constitutional reform.
After a thorough study and discussion among the SP members here on the issue, the body came up with a common stand stating that there is a need to amend the present 1987 Constitution with the following preferences: specific amendment proposed is to lengthen/extend the term of elected officials and that the mode of amendment should be through Constitutional Assembly.
As to the form of government, the body said it will retain the presidential system and their stand on the kind of legislature is also to be retained but proposed that election of senators be done per region.*(JS - PIA-CAR,Mt. Province)
