Giapil ko nimo sa mga walay uwaw bro?

Anyway, I agree nga dapat tun-an jud pag ayo nang butanga, but I hope it won't take forever ang pag study ana nga proposal.........Cause whether we like it or not....naa jud nay pros ug cons nga dapat timbang timbangon.........

Daghang nangamatay sa Reming ngano unahon man gyud nang cha cha. Pagka wa po'y uwaw aning mga tawhana. Di gyud na kahulat nang Cha cha. Imagine new constitution in 15 days! Binuang kaayo nang dako. halos gud na usa ka tuig gipanday nang atong batakang balaod, tapos hugaw hugawan lang ni De venecia in 15 days? Sus Ginoo. Have some shame pod unta.

Indeed, we have to weigh the pros and cons should we amend the present constitution. As far as our legislators are concerned, they have admitted, regardless on whether they are from the administration or the opposition, which we really need to amend the constitution.

If that's the case, why not pursue a dialogue that will really work for the needs of the people?

Change the system. If the system fails, then lets change the guys running the system. if that fails... perhaps it's time to migrate?? hehehe. just kidding. perhaps we have to change something again. But i do believe that if we dont change then we will be left behind.

I think that the inevitable decision of the Supreme Court will ultimately clarify the matter. This will end the trivial question on whether we could avail the people's initiative to amend the constitution. After all, the Supreme Court is the final arbiter when it comes to controversial issues like this.

Hopefully the Supreme Court could provide a very-well written decision on this case.


they have already provided a good decision for the case but the Palace seems to be so enthusiastic with the matter that they want to defy the SC's decision for the matter...in my opinion, CHA CHA should be done after the ARROYO administration and also minus the present ppl who run the congress...THATS THE BEST THING TO DO...wait for ARROYO to step down or end her term before cha-cha is done.

I do hope Puno will vote for the CHA_CHA because I want to see a lot of people cry here.

Ahhh. Asar ang imong tuyo. Its not about what is proper and what is good.

If ever the issue will be raised before the Supreme Court, i would still believe on judicial independence rather than cast doubt on what would be the decision of the court. Sometimes, too much speculation would rather give us doubts instead of giving trust to our institutions. As such, I'd rather not speculate.
