Surigao del Norte 2nd district Rep. Robert Ace Barbers is backing a proposal for the two chambers of Congress to appoint respective teams or representatives that will "tackle and settle the row" on Charter change (Cha-cha). Barbers, a longtime supporter of constitutional revision, had this to say on his radio program Friday, March 17 amid the word war between the House of Representatives and the Senate on Cha-cha. The idea was actually broached by his guest on the program, Cavite 4th district Rep. Elpidio Barzaga Jr. "I absolutely agree. 'Yan po ang wisdom ni Cong. Pidi, dapat mag set-up ng team ng upper and lower house ipadala natin (That is  the wisdom of Cong. Pidi, the upper and lower houses must form teams, let's send them)," Barbers said. The House of Representatives is traditionally referred to as the lower chamber while the Senate is called the upper chamber. However, legal luminaries will say that the two houses are co-equal bodies in the bicameral legislature. As for who should be pick to represent the "House Team" in the discussions, Barbers mentioned the names of Barzaga, who is a respected lawyer; and House Committee on Constitutional Amendments chairman, Cagayan de Oro City 2nd district Rep. Rufus Rodriguez. "Para mailatag talaga [ang position ng both houses] (This will ensure that the position of both Houses will clearly be laid out)," said the Surigao del Norte lawmaker. So far in the 19th Congress, the House has already passed and transmitted to the Senate two measures that will pave the way for Cha-cha. The twin measures are Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) No.6 and House Bill (HB) No.7352. In tandem, the measures seek the creation of a constitutional convention (con-con), the delegates of which would be tasked to propose amendments to the existing Charter. But the Senate, at least according to Senate President Juan Miguel "Migz" Zubiri, doesn't havec enough votes to pass the con-con proposal. Zubiri's subsequent insinuation that the House under Speaker Martin Romualdez had been "rushing" the pro-Cha-cha measure has triggered a verbal exchange between members of the two chambers. "I know that deep inside their (senators) hearts and minds, gusto din nila 'yan [Cha-cha] (they also want Cha-cha). Kaya lang they always go for public opinion, masyado silang populist e (But they will always go for public opinion, they are too populist)," Barbers said. Barzaga said in the same radio interview that the House and Senate's differences on Cha-cha should be settled privately.
