Marcos open to calls for constitutional amendments, says Palace

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is open to calls to amend certain provisions of the 38-year-old Constitution, if it seeks to correct constitutional ambiguities, Malacañang says on Aug. 12, 2025. Palace Press Officer Claire Castro issued the statement after Deputy Speaker Ronaldo Puno called for a constitutional convention (ConCon) to undertake a sweeping review and eventually propose amendments to address its so-called vague language. ConCon is one three methods provided under the Constitution itself to introduce amendments, the two being through a constituent assembly and people’s initiative.
