                    [Summary] => Manila City Mayor Lito Atienza yesterday urged the Consultative Commission on Constitutional Amendments to consider a shift to a unicameral legislature, saying this would lead to a more responsive and responsible lawmaking process. 


He said right now all senators are elected at large that is why they feel they are like the President.


"Technically, we have 25 presidents in the Philippines," Atienza said. "Ang feeling ng Senate kapantay nila ang pangulo. Dito nagsimula ang intriga at gusot. Wala silang pananagutan sa local."
