SMNI News Channel has a new program that will help people understand timely issues and discussions.
This is ‘3PM Luzon Visayas Mindanao – Pilipinas Muna’. The said program airs every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 9 PM with host Peter Flores Serrano.
Actor-turned-Senator Robinhood Padilla was the first guest on the said program’s pilot episode on Monday.
No time was wasted as the hot issue of amending the Philippine Constitution was immediately tackled.
Senator Padilla stressed that the Philippine Constitution needs to be changed, first, by adopting a unicameral system.
According to the good senator, the 1987 Constitution is no longer applicable, and much financial resources are wasted in the Philippine government’s current system, citing the country’s process of passing a law.
Even if the House and the Senate agree on a proposed bill after having passed three readings, the bill can still be vetoed by the president.
Senator Padilla also believes that it is timely to extend the president of the Philippines’ term in office.
For Senator Padilla, it is very important for a president to continue what he or she started.
However, according to Senator Padilla, the change that Filipinos dream of can never happen if the same people are elected using the same old constitution.
