Contending ideas of the people about Charter Change

  1. Cha-cha is the "mother of all reforms."
    It highlights four key changes, namely:
    -shift from presidential to parliamentary
    -shift from bicameral to unicameral legislature
    -shift from unitary to federal government
    -lifting of citizenship restriction in owning lands
    and businesss in the country (economic liberalization,
    from 40% to 100% share)
    It will lead to economic, political, bureaucratic and social reforms.
    Mode (?)
    -Con-Ass (revison)
    -Con-Con (revision)
    -People's Initiative (amendments only)
  2. Cha-cha is needed but after Gloria steps down from office.
    Gloria and her minions will only use
    it to extend their term in office.
  3. Cha-cha is not the answer to the
    myriad of problems in the country.
    Cha-cha does not guarantee any meaningful and substantive
    change considering the timing and motivation of the proposal,
    and the set of people behind it.
