Ilocos Norte 2nd District Representative Angelo Marcos Barba has filed Resolution of Both Houses 8 that seeks to extend the term of members of the House of Representatives.
The amendment seeks to grant members of the House of Representatives a five-year term with one re-election.
The current term runs for three years and members of the House can serve up to three consecutive terms.
House Committee on Constitutional Amendments Chairperson Rufus Rodriguez said the House will not consider political amendments.
“I think the House leadership will not favor this proposal. The Speaker has repeatedly declared that the push for Charter reform at this time is confined to amending the Constitution’s restrictive economic provisions,” Rodriguez said.
The House had earlier approved two Resolutions of Both Houses for economic charter change which are pending in the Senate. —KG, GMA Integrated News
