    amend our Constitution? If so, is it something that needs our attention right

    “Last week, the lower house voted to amend the Constitution through a
    constituent assembly without determining first whether or not Charter Leave your email to receive our

    Let us help you decide from elected 3 officials expected by the people who voted for them to make on the latest news about Noynoy,
    logical decisions?” the elections, and the issues that
    face the nation.
    “Just a few hours after the sponsor of the measure delivered his speech, a
    vote had taken place without exhaustive debates. To amend the Email Address:
    Constitution requires months, even years of deliberations, but a resolution to
    proceed with Charter Change through a constituent assembly was decided
    upon by the lower house with undue haste. It is a devious move that would
    undermine the role of the Senate in the amendment process and thus, is
    vehemently opposed by the people. Why then did the lower house insist on
    passing the resolution despite public criticism that it should not be
    pursued?”

    “I am against any move to amend the Constitution and I am against this


    move by the lower house to desecrate the identity of Congress as a
    bicameral institution. I am committed to preclude this rushed manner of
    changing our fundamental and sacrosanct law.”

    “This recent effort to trifle with our Constitution should sear the conscience
    of every Filipino. Such a ruthless display of tyranny of numbers can only
    come from a government so used to being insulated from culpability for so
    long. For all the sins Mrs. Arroyo and her allies have committed against the
    people, shall we still allow them the opportunity to perpetuate their reign?”

    “To sit idly by and do nothing is to be complicit to this ongoing crime. We


    have to make our voices heard. I join the Liberal Party in condemning this
    shameless act orchestrated by the Arroyo government. Enough is enough. It
    is time to take the power from a mere handful in Congress and give it back
    to the people where it rightfully belongs.”
