One thing about politicians is that they tend to ride along the current events with regards to their policies and principles and immediately revert back to the original once the fuss has settled down. This scenario is manifested in the death of pres. Cory when some admin congressmen called on their party-mates to halt moves of ammending the constitution through constituent assembly but now that the late president had been laid to rest, they have reignited the cha-cha flame which apparently isn't that easy to put out.
Headlines in today's papers say that Nograles is not ready to bury charter change just yet. Somebody should open the eyes of the speaker that it is nearly impossible to convene the two houses of congress, barely nine months away from elections let alone ratify proposed changes in the fundamental law of the land. Another thing to consider is that the COMELEC is having a hard time with the funding of the Pampanga vote recount, how much more a national plebiscite which by the looks of it will turn out in the negative.
Much has been said about this issue but still the men and women under GMA's command in the house are refusing to listen, and I thought Cory's last sacrifice would be the amplifier of the voice of the Filipino people.
