English: Padilla said he is aiming to have the amendments hurdle the bicameral level by August, and have the plebiscite coincide with the barangay elections on Oct. 30. He added he does not agree to a constitutional convention that he said will be more expensive, and may open the door to tackling political provisions.
Filipino: Nais din ni Padilla na pagdating ng Agosto, matapos na ang pagtalakay sa bicameral level, at maihabol ang plebisito para sumabay sa barangay election sa Oktubre 30. Iginiit niya na hindi siya papayag sa constitutional convention na mas magastos at maaari pang mabuksan ang political provisions.
