Marcos says open to wider constitution changes

MANILA: Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr (pic) said he’s in favour of amending the nation’s nearly 40-year-old Constitution, expressing concern over its restrictive economic provisions and keeping the door open to changes in politicians’ term limits.

"The 1987 Constitution was not written for a globalised world and that’s where we are now. We have to adjust so we can increase economic activity in the Philippines,” Marcos said in an interview with local broadcaster GMA News aired on Tuesday (Jan 24).
