A Counter Cha-Cha

Something serious for a change, as I make reference to a blog by Alloy.

I'm getting ahead of the story the magazine is releasing on Aug 15. I am providing a preview counter to Alloy's, but more importantly to JDV and FVR.

But this does not mean that this is my stand. I am still studying the options.

James Marty Lim, National President of Liga ng mga Barangay pointed that we should not change our present constitution. Liga ng mga Barangay represents the thousands of Barangay Captains nationwide.

The Philippines has seen about 4 to 5 Constitutional changes in a century. Note that we have had the 1898, 1935, 1973, 1987, and possibly the 2005 or 2006. Take the US, which has had their Constitution for the past two centuries. The only amendments to the constitution they have made are Line Amendments, which he says that the US has made 22 line amendments.

We should amend two points in the present constitution. 1) let the people elect the members of Comelec & 2) let the people also elect the Supreme Court justices. That way, the issue of "utang na loob" to a president is avoided. Especially, now that the Supreme Court has 9 appointees by PGMA. That's half of the membership.
