Villar on charter change

Anumang pagbabago sa ating Saligang Batas ay dapat maganap pagkatapos ng eleksyon sa 2010. Inaasahan na ng taong-bayan na magkakaroon sila ng pagkakataon na iluklok sa puwesto ang karapat-dapat na mamuno sa 2010.

We signed the resolution to allow senators to debate on the merits and demerits of federalism and to see if this form of government can work in this country. Critics are saying the administration is using this same resolution as justification to railroad Charter change.

But it is noteworthy to mention that the resolution's principal advocate, Sen. Nene Pimentel, has declared that the Senate will never allow the resolution to be used for purposes other than the pursuit of peace and progress in Mindanao.

Charter change can wait. It is too divisive an issue right now, when we should be concentrating on alleviating the economic difficulties of our people.
