 Duterte, who earlier called for an amendment to the 1987 Constitution, advised the next president to initiate either a Constitutional Assembly (ConAss) or a Constitutional Convention (ConCon).

 “It would be as good as any other time to initiate whether to convert Congress into a constituent body or a magtawag ng constitutional convention, which is very expensive to do,” he said.

 “Dapat umpisahan na sa bagong administrasyon,” he added.

 Earlier, Duterte criticized the exploitation of the country’s party-list system, saying the rich use it to lobby for their interests in Congress.

He also earlier slammed some party-list groups which he claimed are linked to the communist movement.
