[edit] Title change

This article needs a more precise title, like Proposed Revisons to the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines, since Charter Change could also refer to changing the UN Charter, etc.

[edit] Arroyo, Nograles, Pimentel Cha Cha

Definately, they have to file this landmark futile attempt to extend the 2010 term of PGMA via a Trojan horse: House Speaker Prospero Nograles today said he is ready to sit down with Senator Aquilino Pimentel to discuss the Senate-endorsed Charter change aimed to turn the country into a federal system of government. But he clarified that he will support it if the implementation should take place after 2010.[1]

Today, Philippines embarked in a landmark step to change and overhall the 1987 constitution, that is, 21 years ago. Rep. Monico O. Puentevella on May 7, 2008, filed House Concurrent Resolution No. 15 which supported Senate Resolution No. 10. Unlike the Pimentel Senate Resolution, Puentevella included the option of holding a constitutional convention, but excluded the People's Initiative mode.gmanews.tv, House resolution supports change in form of government --Florentino floro (talk) 09:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
