                    [Summary] => Senate President Pro Tempore Juan Flavier filed a bill yesterday seeking to convene a constitutional convention (con-con) to amend the 1987 Constitution.


Delegates to a con-con are elected by the people. The Charter may also be amended by Congress convening itself into a constituent assembly.


Speaker Jose de Venecia had earlier pushed for a constituent assembly, saying it was cheaper for taxpayers and could do the job quicker. But his proposal was buried in preparations for the May 10 elections.
