Its not as if our current and past 3 congress is not doing anything about constitutional amendments. There is a consensus. There's just too many wise guys that are out of touch with reality, civil society is included. The minority rules and the strategy is if you push the issue, you dont get the street votes.
Is the Philippines too democratic or can we not put our act together? Should we learn from how fast America did the $700B bailout plan? Is NOW the perfect time to do it as we need to compete for foreign investments amid a global financial crisis?
Has street rule become the norm? Has People's Power become part of the problem and not the solution?
