Dagupan City Vice Mayor Alvin Fernandez was appointed Monday by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo as member of the Consultative Commission to propose revisions to the 1987 Constitution.
Presidential Management Staff chief Rigoberto Tiglao informed the vice mayor of his appointment in a message faxed to the city hall Wednesday.
“I welcome my appointment and I thank President Arroyo for the trust and confidence,” Fernandez, who was nominated by the Vice Mayors’ League of the Philippines (VMLP), said.
Fernandez is the only vice mayor in the 50-member Commission, which is composed of prominent businessmen, constitutional experts, academicians, incumbent and former local officials and newspaper columnists.
The Commission was created by Executive Order 453 on August 19, 2005 and is tasked to propose the revision of the 1987 Constitution to make it “more responsive, relevant, and competitive to inward and global changes.”
A fund of P10 million has been allocated for the commission and will have to submit a report to the President at the end of the year. The executive branch would then submit a report for the scrutiny and approval of Congress.
Fernandez, who ran unopposed in his second term in Dagupan City, is the VMLP national executive vice president and the president of the VMLP Pangasinan Chapter.
He also sits as member of the national executive council of the Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines, which is the umbrella organization of all local government leagues in the country.
An active civic and youth leader, Fernandez is now president of the Rotary Club of Dagupan.
