Ituloy angsulong ng Charter Change
Sana ituloy angsulong ng Charter Change! Maraming mamamayan ang hindi alam kung ano nga ba ang Charter Change…Lalo na ang mga taong nasusulsulan ng mga corrupt na opisyal! Napakaraming bayaran dito sa Pilipinas, binabayaran upang hadlangan ang pagtuloy ng sulong ng charter change.
The most important reason for amending the constitution is that it is the best way to respond to widespread dissatisfaction with our politics. Our political system is the same as that designed by the American colonial government and Quezon seventy years ago. It is not anymore capable of responding to the needs of the Philippines of the 21st century.
We are unhappy with the caliber of our politicians. But it is not enough to say we should replace them. With few exceptions, the system continuously produces corrupt and incompetent politicians. The best way to get better politicians is to change the whole system of representation starting with electoral system.
Some leaders of peoples organizations oppose constitutional reform because they are afraid that nationalist provisions on the economy and the ban on foreign military bases will be removed. But as long as we have the same politicians, they will continue to find ways to get around these provisions. We should defend these provisions. But we should also change the political system so we can have the leaders we want, - leaders who will implement the constitution’s nationalist provisions instead of circumventing them. This can only be done by supporting constitutional reform.
Among the substantive proposals are reforms on : executive-legislative relations – the form of government, central-local relations, and the electoral system.
Dapat ng ituloy angsulong ng Charter Change!
