LAWYER Oliver Lozano and his daughter Wednesday asked the Supreme Court to nullify House Resolution No. 1109, saying the House of Representatives “railroaded” the measure to amend the Constitution to extend the term of President Gloria Arroyo.
HR1109, adopted by the House late Tuesday night, seeks to convene Congress into a Constituent Assembly, without participation by the Senate, to amend the Constitution.
Lozano and his daughter Evangeline said the resolution principally authored by Speaker Prospero Nograles deviated from “prescribed procedures to amend the Constitution by excluding the Senate of the Philippines from the complete process of proposing amendments to the Constitution.”
They also cited the “lack of thorough debates and consultations” by the House when it adopted the resolution.
