Former PACC chief supports Cha-cha through convention
The Philippine Star|May 06, 2024
Former Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) chair Greco Belgica supports the proposal of Sen. Robinhood Padilla to amend the 1987 Constitution through a constitutional convention (con-con).

Last April 29, Padilla filed a resolution that sought to revise the 1987 Constitution through a con-con.

In a statement, Belgica said, “I personally think (this) is a step in the right direction for the Philippines.”

He added that he was one of those who called on President Marcos to support con-con as the mode to amend the 1987 Constitution in order to address issues such as corruption, and to help the country’s capability in responding to regional security threats.
