SEN. REVILLA'S STATEMENT ON CON ASS SPECULATION

Amidst speculation that an administration senator will be joining the House in their Con Ass, this is to categorically state that I will never be that senator. Despite being a Senator identified with the administration, I am opposed to the efforts of the House to push through with their Constituent Assembly.

The House must respect the Senate as an equal yet independent branch of the legislature without which no enactment can be validly had.

And while I can only speak for myself, I am quite confident that all Senators, administration and opposition, will not partake of the House's questionable actions in amending the constitution.

Habang maaaring may punto na dapat ng pag-aralan ang pag-aamyenda sa ating Saligang Batas, naniniwala ako na hindi tama ang proseso at pamamaraan na gustong igiit ng Kamara, at hindi na sapat ang panahon para dito.

Ang ganitong kahalagang gawain ay hindi dapat inaapura. Dapat ay dahan-dahanin natin ang proseso para masiguro na makabubuti ang mga pagbabagong nais nating ipatupad. Kung dadaanin natin ito sa mabilisan, baka mas makasama pa ito sa halip na makatulong.
