                    [Summary] => Friday’s headline on SWS giving 70 percent for con-con and 72 percent for presidential system does not tell the whole story. The findings are a month old having been conducted from May 28 to June 14. This was not released. Dr. Jose Abueva, a staunch advocate for Con-con sits on the board of SWS. Dr. Mahar Mangahas, on the other hand was aware that advocates of Consa had commissioned a survey from June 26 to July 3.

A statement from an arm of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines also said the time is not yet ripe for Charter change or Cha-cha.
