Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr. hailed the presidential consultative commission (con-com) on constitutional amendments for adopting the recommendation to shift the country to a parliamentary system of government, describing the move as "a significant step in the right direction."


De Venecia said the con-com’s decision to adopt the parliamentary form of government echoes the recommendations of top local leaders nationwide for a federal structure since the political system would be most acceptable to local governments.
