President Marcos said Tuesday, Feb. 20, that he is "quietly" holding consultations with both houses of the Congress regarding the change in the Constitution.

Speaking with reporters at the celebration of the 16th Ani ng Dangal, the President disclosed that he has been in talks since "months ago" with the lawmakers for "a long time" now about constitutional reform.

But he has not seen any reason yet to tell it to the public, he added.

"What for me is more important than to make these proclamations, pronouncements, what’s more important is to get it done," he said.

"So, that’ what we’re doing, we’re doing it quietly," he added.

Why he has not told the public yet is also to avoid making "any fuss," the President also said.

Talks about Charter Change under the Marcos administration have been around for some time now. On Feb. 8, the President said the proposed constitutional reform would only focus on economic provisions to boost the country's economy.

"In any event, this administration is going to continue to push hard to attract more foreign investments to significantly help us achieve our ambition of upper middle-class income status by 2025," he said during the observance of the "Constitution Day 2024" observance.

In an interview on Tuesday, Marcos said they just wanted to get the amendments "incorporated into the Constitution to improve the chances of investment and upskilling of our people."

"The Senate is taking the lead and between the two houses, they will come to an agreement then that will be the way we’ll do it," he said.
