What's the status of the latest Charter change initiative, called Constitutional Correction for Development? In just the first six weeks of the year, the government has changed its position several times on this controversial issue. In his report to the nation at the start of the year, President Estrada announced that he had junked Concord.

ANGELES CITY -- Will showbusiness personalities be used in the Estrada administration's final bid to sway public support for Charter change?

The opposition party Lakas certainly hopes not.

Apparently buoyed by his improving poll ratings, President Estrada said yesterday he would pursue his Constitutional Correction for Development (Concord).

The President earlier announced he was deferring Concord, a move perceived as an attempt to boost his slipping popularity.

However, his net satisfaction rating has reportedly gone up to 28 percent in the latest poll of Pulse Asia, an independent research outfit.

President Estrada is applying the brakes on his administration's efforts to procure amendments to the economic provisions of the Constitution.

The Constitutional Correction for Development (Concord), which President Estrada grounded the other day, will take off again once Malacañang feels it has mustered a "groundswell of support" from the people.

This developed as opposition Rep. Juan Miguel Zubiri of Bukidnon urged the President to drop Concord altogether, not just defer it.

On the other hand, former President Corazon Aquino expressed satisfaction over Mr. Estrada's decision to suspend his Concord. "I am happy with the President's deferment of Concord.
