MANILA, Philippines — Bayan Muna chairman Neri Colmenares asserted on Friday that the swift approval of the Maharlika Investment Fund bill violates the 1987 Constitution, adding that his party list will 'definitely challenge' the bill in the Supreme Court. Colmenares maintained that Article VI, Section 26 (2) — mandates that no bill passed by either House can become law unless it has passed three readings on separate days and printed copies of its final form have been distributed to its Members three days prior — was violated when the Senate approved the bill on its second and third readings in the same session on Wednesday.
