just NO!

today is the 10th of June, just two days away from the celebration of the 111th Philippine Independence Day so i just decided to have a post on the current situation our country was in. after all, hndi nman siguro masama na magsalita ng tungkol sa Pilipinas. hmm. most of us, if not all, knows that today a GRAND RALLY against the passage of House Bill No. 1109 or the convening of Congress as Constituent Assembly or CON-ASS that will gave way to Charter Change. meaning, ammendments will be done to the present 1987 Constitution.

well, to tell everyone honestly. hndi pa nman ganun kadami at kalayo ang kaalaman ko tungkol sa Charter Change pro atleast may alam naman aq. from what i have know, a Charter Change can just happen through three different modes, namely, People's Initiative, Constitutional Convention and Constituent Assembly.

going back to HB 1109, the 3/4 of our honorable congressmen have voted in favor of it doing it themselves without the participation of the upper chamber because arguments from some of the congressmen states that the voting should be done with the upper and lower chamber together thus outnumbering the senators that we know are against ChaCha before 2010 national polls. as what the CBCP President have said in his blog, it seems that the leadership of the land and of Congress seem to be so "desperate" that they would even change the Constitutional Rules of Congress in order to speedily pursue and accomodate the Constituent Assembly (CON-ASS). hmm. Speaker Prospero Nograles have cleared it that the Constituent Assembly will not be used to prolong the term of anyone, specifically president Gloria Arroyo but that has yet to be justified and proved.

pro majority of the Filipino are not sure if they will believe what the speaker have been saying especially that the speaker and the most distrusted president in the philippine history are alies. tiwala tlga. mahirap mabuo at lalung-lalo na mas mahirap buohin muli.

personally, i am not against Charter Change. but i think it will be better if the Charter Change can occur after the 2010 National Polls and through the Constitutional Convention. a process that is indeed good for the greatest number having the participation even from non-political people. to cut the story short, just NO! wag na muna. ska na lang.
