El senador Panfilo Lacson ha desmentido los informes sobre planes para convocar una asamblea constituyente con el fin de modificar la constitución para extender mandatos o cambiar los límites de edad presidencial. En una entrevista, calificó las afirmaciones como "tonterías" y "absurdos".

Lacson señaló que solo se han llevado a cabo conversaciones muy preliminares sobre el aumento del número de senadores. Añadió que elevar el requisito de edad nunca fue parte de ninguna discusión.

La vicepresidenta de la Cámara, Janette Garin, y el presidente del comité de la Cámara, Jude Acidre, respaldaron la negativa, calificando los informes de "puros chismes" y "teorías de conspiración sin fundamento". El portavoz Faustino Dy III afirmó que la Cámara sigue centrada en 38 proyectos de ley antes del receso del 6 de junio.
