Take a Stand on Charter Change

Charter change, from what I know is a process through which our republic-democratic form of government would be changed into a parliamentary one. This change would then make the senate president the prime minister of the country, with the senate acting as a legislative, executive and judicial body, may hap.

The senate would be the one to elect the prime minister who will have all the power over the country. He/she would be able to remove members from the senate.

Word is, that PGMA would be running for senate president in the 2010 election. If ever Cha-cha would push through, she would then become the prime minister. If this were to happen, the senate could move against her, BUT, before they can do so, she could sack them from their places and replace them with her allies.

According to the government, Cha-cha is SUPPOSEDLY good for our country. Cha-cha is SUPPOSEDLY for the benefit of the public. One can say "Oh! Then that's good!" If so, then why does the public revolt against the idea? Why does the public scream at the top of its lungs "Stop Cha-cha!!"

We have no means to prove that there are some sinister intentions behind it. That this is simply a ploy to keep PGMA in power. Then again, we have no means to prove that it is benevolent act, bent upon inspiring the people and keeping the flame of hope burning in their hearts.

Besides, I don't think now is the time for Cha-cha. Seeing as how the world is suffering from the economic crisis, I believe that it is only a waste of time and valuable money to go through the long arduous process of getting this change approved. I believe that it will only bring about more problems than it will solve.

So I say "No to cha-cha!" What do you say?
