Nograles gives 'go ahead' to Cha-cha debates in House

Speaker Prospero Nograles said Saturday that he has given the House committee on constitutional amendments to tackle proposals for Charter change (Cha-cha). "We have a Committee on Constitutional Amendments not only in the House but also the Senate precisely to handle proposals pertaining to proposed amendments on the constitution. As long as it does not interfere with our normal legislative work, [La Union Rep. Victor Francisco] Ortega's committee can go ahead in considering proposals on Charter change," Nograles said.
