The first resolution filed on the first day in office of President Rodrigo Duterte tackles a promise he made during his campaign: federalism.
Davao del Norte Rep. Pantaleon “Bebot” Alvarez, Duterte’s pick for Speaker in the House of Representatives, on Thursday filed his resolution seeking a constitutional convention to put in place a federal system of government in the country.
His resolution was filed at the bills and index service at 12:08 p.m. or a few minutes after Duterte took his oath of office as the country’s 16th President.
