Time to end destabilization activities, says ex-con-com member

Destabilization activities in Metro Manila must end to give people in the countryside a say in running the affairs of government, a former member of the presidential consultative commission (con-com) on Charter change said yesterday.

"Inaatake ngayon ang pamahalaan ng lahat ng uri ng uod (The government is being attacked by all kinds of worms)," former Con-com commissioner Raul Lambino said.

"May kulay pula, may kulay yellow at may black and white pa. Gusto nilang pabagsakin ang pamahalaan upang sila naman ang magkapoder pero wala silang kongkretong alternatibo para sa kapakanan ng mga tao (There is a color red, there is a color yellow, and there is also a black and white. They want to oust the government so they will have power, but they have no concrete alternative for the people’s welfare)."

In a statement, Lambino, now chairman of the Charter Change Advocacy Commission’s committee on form and government structure, said people must plant a "new tree" by finding out the type of seed to grow and develop into a new Constitution.

"Kayo mismo ang may hawak ng karapatan kung anong klaseng buto ng punong kahoy ang itatanim (You yourself hold the right of what kind of seedling to plant)," he said. "Ito ang magiging bagong Saligang Batas na inyong didiligin, aalagaan laban sa mga uod (This will be the new Constitution that you will water and protect against the worms)."

The Charter Change Advocacy Commission which was tasked by Malacañang to conduct a nationwide education drive on the importance of Charter change will go to San Fernando, Pampanga and Urdaneta, Pangasinan after visiting Baguio City and Zambales.

It was in Zambales where the "Zambales Declaration" pledging to pursue the establishment of a unicameral parliamentary form of government and the liberalization of the economy through constitutional reforms was forged.

After wrapping up dialogues in Baguio City and Zambales, commission members will then go to the Bicol provinces and other key provinces in Luzon.

A survey conducted by the con-com least year showed that a majority of the people consulted favored a shift to a parliamentary form of government for its promised efficiency and transparency.

Meanwhile, the Partido Demokratiko Sosyalista ng Pilipinas (PDSP) asked yesterday the Charter Change Advocacy Commission (AdCom) to bring their information campaign to far-flung areas to ensure that more people, especially the poor, be informed of the need to amend the Constitution.

In a statement, the PDSP said that while the Adcom has launched a caravan in order to consult more people in the countryside on the need to amend the Constitution, it has reportedly limited its destinations to cities and urban areas.

The PDSP said Adcom caravans should also visit far-flung and hard to reach villages since residents in these areas who belong to the country’s poorest sectors are hungry for information and would be eager to know how changing the Constitution would improve their lives.

"The Adcom should widen the reach of its public information campaign. It should ascertain that farmers, fisherfolk, health workers and even housewives in remote barangays get the chance to participate in consultation proceedings," lawyer Jose Ricafrente, PDSP legal department head, said.

"The target of these consultations should be those who have the least knowledge about the Charter change, not those who are bombarded with information through radio, television and newspapers.

"Consultation meetings held in these places are usually attended by local officials and government employees who already have knowledge of what the campaign is all about."

The PDSP supports the campaign to change the system of government from presidential to parliamentary.

Jesuit priest Romeo Intengan, a founding leader of the political party, said an important requirement of Charter change is that "the people be heard."

"Those who favor Charter change have the obligation to explain the need for it for the good of the nation, to the people whose approval they seek for the draft Constitution," he said.

"Why preach to people who already have knowledge of Charter change? The advocacy campaign should target the ignorant, those who have zero or very little knowledge about the need to amend the Constitution and how this would improve the economy and the people’s lives." — With Paolo Romero

they know that they are attacked by worms, but what they fail to see is why they are attack by worms.... true that worms will make a plant sick but we should also look at the reasons why it is being attacked. Was it something you put in the plant that triggered the attack?

[FK]

hasta mag lakaw2x sa Baywalk dakpon na? pero maka paparts ni GMA mo defend gihapon ani and will apply it's double standard.

[bcasabee]

What is in the plants why worms attacked it? Simple ra kaayo ang answer ana.......food......healthy green leafy plants are very very attractive to worms kay mao man na ila pagkaon.......... So kung i relate nato sa government......what is in the government nganong attackon man jud........Simple answer...........power1...power2...power3....power 4....power5...........the hunger for power by political worms.......

One more thing.......criticizing the government and destabilizing the government are two different things............Destabilization should end...........but people should be free to criticize and complain also.........

you're right... but if the plants does not have weak spots they will not be attacked. Og atong ibalik sa gobyerno kong wala na sila nag inamaw, dili na sila ingon ana-on.

Citicizing and destabilizing the government... do you know the borderline? Kong sa imong panan-aw tanan buhaton nga against sa administration are plain destabilization?

During the martial law years, when rallies are so rampant do you treat them as destabilizers? during Eraps time do you treat those people in the rallies destabilizer? I guess not... y?

[bcasabee]

Regarding plants....they are natural food......so its natural for them to have weak spots(I'm not really sure ha kay I'm not a botanist)......so kung naay worm......dapat sprayhan ug pesticide para mawagtang ang mga peste.....di ba?

Sa time ni erap ug marcos....kadtong ga rally? I call them destabilizers...........that was called for because the people wants to oust the two governments right?

pero dili ka mo diretso og tira without knowing the root cause. Mao na sige ingon ang admin... destabilizers, blah... blah... blah... but pangotana gi address ba nila og tarong ang issue? Ang issue Garci tape... naka prove ba sila nga fake to ang recording? so kong gusto sila dili na sila atakihon... ila ng i-solve ang main issue nga gilabay sa ilaha.

Sa time ni erap ug marcos....kadtong ga rally? I call them destabilizers...........that was called for because the people wants to oust the two governments right?

so you considered both people at that time as destabilizers? at least you are being consistent

[bcasabee]

Yup....the people during that time were destabilizers.................nothing wrong with that since majority of the people wanted it.......

[FK]

Yup....the people during that time were destabilizers.................nothing wrong with that since majority of the people wanted it.......

and now the people who are destabilizers are wrong? i don't know if you are aware that EDSA I didn't happen overnight... opposition forces at that time fight against Marcos for a very long time 14 years, longer than the current opposition today. So wala sab d i sayop ang mga destabilizers ron?
