Events

Charter Change

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, in her several State of the Nation Addresses has repeatedly called on Congress to pave the way for the amending of the 1987 Constitution^[1] to provide for a unicameral–parliamentary–federal form of government. On December 8, 2006, the administration-dominated House of Representatives, bypassing the Senate, passed in haste House Resolution 1450, which called on Congress to convene into a Constituent Assembly (ConAss) to propose amendments to the Constitution.^[2] The House move however, was faced with stiff opposition from the outmaneuvered members of the opposition and all but 1 member of the Senate,^[3] which was later bolstered by support from several sectors of the civil society and the influential Roman Catholic Church,^[4] which threatened to hold nationwide protest rallies to denounce the House move.^[5] Succumbing to the mounting opposition and the apparent withdrawal of support of the President,^[6] House Speaker Jose De Venecia later on scrapped the entire resolution and called instead for a constitutional convention, challenging the Senate to concur it in 72 hours.^[7] But this too was rejected by the Senate,^[8] which preferred to hold a constitutional convention after the 2007 elections.^[9] Efforts to amend the constitution during the 13th Congress were eventually shelved.^[10]
