With Con-Ass on the move, I am afraid that there will be a Martial Law part 2.
Well, i just hope i am not correct and i just hope President Arroyo would not take advantage over Con-Ass. True that the constitution needs to be amended but why now when 2010 election is just around the corner?
I was not fussed when i read that the congress finally okayed on con-ass however my apprehension surfaced after i finished reading the article about the said matter. The solons who ayed for con-ass were not sure on what would happen next. They don't even know when to begin the convention! Nograles said they might convene after the President's last SONA which will be on July 27. That would be ten months before the election and who knows how long the con-ass will take? Amending the constitution needs more time and thorough deliberation and i don't think ten months or less is enough.
I am not against cha-cha in fact I strongly believe that the constitution needs to be revised to accord with the Filipinos' lifestyle. However, to push con-ass this year is very precarious and this might give the government a reason, an apposite reason, to do what they have been wanting to do -- Martial Law.
