"One Voice" at least has 80 identified individuals openly and clearly declaring their stand against the proposals that "take away power from the people and hand it over to those who have too much of it". But up to now nobody or very few know about the people behind "Sigaw ng Bayan".

In which case, I am seriously bothered by providing this process of initiative as a separate section in the Article on Amendment. Would the sponsor be amenable to accepting an amendment in terms of realigning Section 2 as another subparagrahp (c) of Section 1, instead of setting it up as another separate section as if it were a self-executing provision?
