President Ferdinand ”Bongbong” Marcos Jr. will not oppose calls to amend the 1987 Constitution through a constitutional convention (Con-con) to address none specific provisions, Malacanang said.

Ina press briefing, Malacanang said through that, we will also know what the framers of the 1987 Constitution had stated. Sometimes the definition or terms were not clear. At present, we can’t say yet what the reaction of the President as we have yet to see the details of the proposal.

It, added that if this will help in closing the loopholes in the provisions of the Constitution, the President will not object to this.

Earlier, Antipolo City Representative Ronaldo Puno called for a constitutional convention to revise the 1987 Constitution, to address certain provisions “marked by ambiguity and procedural deficiency.”

In a privileged speech, Puno said a Con-con was the “most prudent, transparent and participatory mechanism” for Charter change.

Under a Con-con, the people elects delegates who will propose amendments, which will be subject to ratification in a plebiscite.

Puno cited this as among the provisions, which are supposedly vague:

Article 11, Section 3.4 on the Accountability of Public Officials which states that “In case the verified complaint or resolution of impeachment is filed by at least one-third of all the Members of the House,  the same shall constitute the Articles of Impeachment, and trial by the Senate shall forthwith proceed” with the meaning of the word forthwith which he said was repeatedly delayed, sidestepped, or redefined by the Senate after more than one-third of the House impeached and sent the Articles of Impeachment against the Vice President last February 5.
