Charter Change In The Cooking

Charter change is a way to change the constitution amend some laws, add some new ones or delete old ones. Charter change is currently again in the air the past few days. People of the lower house (Congress) are currently cooking something for charter change to push through and come to think of it elections are just more than a year away. With this line of thought, most people are thinking that the reason why some people want the constitution to be changed is for a termed extension may it be the president or just officials in the local scene.

Charter change was already cooking I think a year or two ago, but it always didn't push through in the Senate. Currently, people behind the scenes are currently thinking of other ways for the said change to push through. They currently want a constitutional assembly which would joined both the lower and the upper house (Congress and Senate) and then have a vote, in this way they could out vote the Senators.

Makes me wonder sometimes, why at a time of economic crisis would this people want this to push through. They should have at least solve or make solutions to current problems that plagued the country. I think charter change can wait at a more suitable time, maybe after the coming elections when a new president is elected then maybe we can push through with charter change. But as for now, I think most Filipino people need answers and solutions and I think its not found in charter change. Change maybe not in the constitution, but on how policies are run and how changing them could benefit the Filipino people. Change not to push personal interests, but change that would uplift the whole Filipino nation.
