This file contains the full text of the proposed constitutional amendments for investment liberalization in pursuit of economic reform. The amendments seek to create jobs, reduce consumer prices, transfer technologies, promote economic growth, strengthen free competition and enhance efficiency, by eliminating artificial legal barriers to foreign investments. The proposition generally seeks to transcribe the desired amendments by way of deletion, without the incorporation of new language, in order to avoid lengthy debates on wording and instead focus discussions on their rational and purpose.

The paper entitled Comments on the GRP-MILF Peace Negotiations holds the view that the MOA-AD is constitutional. Nonetheless, it strongly disagrees with its wisdom.

Part I seeks to analyze the rational, purpose, implications and constitutionality of the scrapped GRP-MILF Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MOA-AD). Part II identifies the fundamental flaws of the agreement and the underlying negotiation process, and recommends pre-emptive and corrective measures for any revival of the failed process. Part III proposes bold alternative consensus points, guided by the standard of the common good of all the people concerned. 

Among other reforms, the paper proposes or implies constitutional amendments for the: (1) establishment of regional governments based on culture and geography rather than religion; (2) grant of titles of royalty to the southern sultanates; and (3) liberalization of foreign investments.

The article on The Semi-Federal Alternative presents the concept of a regional government system, that combines centralized law-making and decentralized law implementation.

Being a national government agency, the proposed regional government authority does not require a plebiscite for its creation. 

In any case, it renders redundant the constitutional provisions directing the establishment of autonomous regions in Muslim Mindanao and the Cordilleras.
