Federalism dead – Lacsonhome/News/Top Stories/Federalism dead – LacsonSEN. Panfilo Lacson on Thursday said senators were not keen on passing any measure shifting to federalism, especially now that the House of Representatives is led by Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Just before Congress went on recess on December 13, the House approved Resolution of Both Houses (RBH) 15, which proposes an overhaul of the 1987 Constitution to shift to federalism. “It’s still dead in the water especially so that the House passed their own version,” Lacson said. It’s dead in the water,” he said. There was a debate, it was voted on and we sent it to [House members],” Arroyo told reporters.
