                    [Summary] => Former President Corazon Aquino has expressed her opposition to amending the 1987 Constitution before the 2004 elections.


Lourdes Siytangco, Mrs. Aquino’s spokeswoman, told The STAR yesterday that Mrs. Aquino is amenable to proposals of a Charter change (Cha-cha), but not during this administration.


"The primary task at the moment should be preparing the grounds that will lead to a thorough discussion and rigorous debate for the eventual amending of the Constitution after the 2004 elections," Siytangco said, quoting the former president.

                    [Summary] => Pastor "Boy" Saycon of the Council on Philippine Affairs (COPA) said yesterday his group is poised to set off another bombshell against corruption by certain presidential aides akin to the multimillion-peso Public Estates Authority (PEA) mess.


Saycon clarified that the irregularity did not involve President Arroyo, and was not meant to destabilize her administration.


The COPA leader refused to name names, but added that the culprits were some of Mrs. Arroyo’s "most trusted men."

                    [Summary] => It is irresponsible politics, and not any failure to amend the Constitution, that could pave the way for the return of authoritarian rule in the country, Speaker Jose de Venecia said yesterday.


At the same time, De Venecia said the country needs a strong president and a strong prime minister and proposed "a semi-presidential and semi-parliamentary system" to be adopted if the people decide to amend the 1987 Constitution.
