No to CHA-CHA

Wednesday, April 05, 2006

I would like to congratulate the people of Thailand on the resignation of their leader, Thaksin, as Thailand's Prime Minister. It was indeed an honorable sacrifice and I am hopeful the Philippine president would do the same thing, who is celebrating her 59th birthday today!

In spite of People's Initiative initiated by local government authorities, I say NO to Charter Change (CHA-CHA) which PGMA pushes anew, whose legitimacy as Philippine president-elect remains under question. There were times that I want to convince myself that Gloria Arroyo is the best president at the moment but, whenever I heard another government institution had been used to cover up hot issues, I feel betrayed and insulted!

Now that the Prime Minister of Thailand resigns to defuse Thai political crisis, may Gloria Arroyo makes a supreme sacrifice instead of pushing for charter change to amend the 1987 Philippine constitution.

Nothing personal, PGMA, I just want to say NO to Cha-Cha...

butterfly Let me know you were here, your thoughts are welcome!

First of all, thailand and the philippines are working from different forms of government, and so the two leaders' decisions can't be compared. second, if you watch the news and the several news features on television, you'll encounter several journalists and experts complaining the outdated or incomplete laws and such. they keep on complaining and blaming the government for laws that have been there for decades already. so, a talk on charter change is a start to freshen up for progress. i'm not saying to proceed with cha-cha, i'm merely opining that a talk will clear all Filipinos' heads.

I don't think she will ever step down.
