Who assists Congress in drafting the organic act for the autonomous regions? Congress does not draft the complex organic act in legislative isolation but is systematically assisted by a regional consultative commission. The specific members of this commission are directly appointed by the President from a curated list of nominees provided by multisectoral bodies. This ensures that the drafting process deeply includes grassroots participation and accurately reflects the genuine sentiments of the region. The collaborative constitutional process for formulating the organic act is outlined in Article X, Section 18, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “The Congress shall enact an organic act for each autonomous region with the assistance and participation of the regional consultative commission composed of representatives appointed by the President from a list of nominees from multisectoral bodies.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
