[Title] => Superfluous
[Summary] => I have been consistent in my belief that the Consultative Constitutional Commission (Con Com) is a superfluity in the whole process of changing our charter. It is not one of those authorized by the charter itself to propose amendments or revisions therein. The results of its deliberations and the fruits of its labors are nothing but suggestions that can be made by any civic or political group, club or NGOs at the actual start of the process of amendment by the duly authorized Constituent Assembly.

[Title] => ‘GMA to sign EO on con-com soon’
[Summary] => A preparatory consultative commission tasked to assist Congress in proposing amendments to the Constitution would immediately start work next month after President Arroyo signs the executive order creating it.
In separate interviews, Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz and Interior Secretary Angelo Reyes said Mrs. Arroyo would sign the EO "anytime soon."
Cruz said the commission, whose official name has yet to be announced, would be composed of 50 representatives from the national and regional levels and sectoral groups.

[Title] => Con-con EO out this week
[Summary] => An executive order is now up for signing by President Arroyo possibly within the week, creating the Citizens’ Consultative Constitutional Commission (con-con) that would assist Congress in drafting proposed amendments to the Constitution, officials said.
Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said the draft executive order is now on the President’s desk, awaiting her orders for possible revisions.
"The draft, I believe, is already with the President. It could come out any time soon," Ermita said.

[Title] => Palace: GMA won’t waver on Cha-cha
[Summary] => President Arroyo is not wavering in her commitment to amend the Constitution, even though she admits her constitutional mandate is still to finish her term of office in 2010, her spokesman said.
Press Secretary and Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye said Mrs. Arroyo remains focused on her mission to rewrite the Constitution to allow a change to a parliamentary form of government and this stand "is clear and has not changed."

[Title] => ‘Pressure from local execs to force senators to agree to Cha-cha’
[Summary] => Local officials would force senators to agree on Charter amendments or face risk of isolating itself from the people, Malacañang officials asserted yesterday.
Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita pointed out the senators, though elected at large, are still heavily dependent on local leaders to gain votes for re-election.
"They (senators) are not oblivious to the clamor of local officials," he said.
