Oppose Constituent Assembly

Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. He who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or decisions possible or impossible to execute.
Abraham Lincoln

In the baby book of my daughter, Lauren, there is a blank space written there for current events on the day of her birth. You know how moms are. We want to document everything and reminisce on those good old days. I clearly remember scribbling down …Today, March 25, 1986, THE 1986 PROVISIONAL “FREEDOM” CONSTITUTION was proclaimed. What joy it was to whisper to my first-born that she is going to live in a democratic society. I stroked her chubby little fingers and told her that “A new government was installed through a direct exercise of the power of the Filipino people assisted by units of the New Armed Forces of the Philippines and the heroic action of the people was done in defiance of the provisions of the 1973 Constitution.” Oh yes, our country held so much hope for her future.

The following year on February 11, 1987, the 1987 Constituion of the Philippines was proclaimed and took effect, just six months before I gave birth to my second daughter, M. So full of hope and love of country, I threw the US immigration papers aside that my sister sent over to me, as I read the Preamble:

We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God, in order to build a just and humane society and establish a Government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony and secure to ourselves and our posterity the blessings of independence and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution.

And what happened just a few hours ago? It took only a few seconds for the House of Representatives to approve a resolution that would convene Congress into a constituent assembly to amend the 1987 Constitution. (click here to read Proposed Charter Amendments).

Perhaps, our country needs some change, whether it be a charter change or not. But at this time?

I strongly oppose this resolution to convene a Constituent Assembly that may practically extend their terms such as our dear President and her allies in power. Why couldn’t they amend the Constitution after the term of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo? It sounds really suspicious.

The resolution gives us some measure of comfort.

The resolution states that its more than 170 co-authors are “resolved with finality” that the terms of the following will not be extended – the incumbent president and vice president, senators, representatives, governors, mayors, and other elected officials whose term of office will expire in 2010.

It also provides that the 12 senators who were elected in 2007 for a six-year term will be allowed to finish their terms, and that the 2010 elections should push through as scheduled.

I just don’t believe them.

The 2010 presidential elections is 11 months from now. Congress will not resume session until late July after President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s State of the Nation Address. I don’t see how they find the time to rewrite the Constitution with barely a year to go before the May 2010 elections.

I want to look back and think that the democracy I fought (together with our fellow countrymen) for my children was not in vain. I’d like to believe that the 1987 Constitution that established the Philippines continues to be a “democratic and republican State”, where “sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them”

I don’t see any reason for this Constituent Assembly. I am sad and angry at their actions. How dare them? Sovereignty lies in us, the people. Shame on you, congressmen. Do you really know if the charter change is what we want at the present time? Do you represent the voice of your respective constituents?

Do I need to repeat it?

Our Congressmen signed a resolution to convene a Constituent Assembly that will practically extend their terms: OPPOSE ANY CHARTER CHANGE PERPETUATING GMA AND HER ALLIES IN POWER!

    I may not be able to attend all these rallies but I will keep watch with you. Vigilance and prayers are very much called for as we face a bleak tomorrow. May we not be in the mercy of these tyrants.

    I don’t have much traffic on my blog but I still would like to participate by posting schedules of protest rallies and such.

    Hi Noemi,

    I’m one with you in expressing my rage and frustration over what happened last night. I was glued to the television set all evening watching what I think is one of the worst display of politics in the history of this country. They literally spat at the face of democracy and it’s so disheartening to see our Congressmen act like foot soldiers blindly following the orders of their general.

    By the way, it was very interesting last night on Facebook. Several congressmen were microblogging and replying to the comments of their constituents via the status bar. Wrote about it at http://www.newmedia.com.ph/solons-express-their-disappointment-through-facebook/

    The only problem that mass demonstration faces today is the weather. I don’t think people will march if it’s raining hard (lol).

    Oh well.

    All the best,
    Carlo

    Our congressman is on the list. Shame on him and the rest who participated.

    I had goosebumps when they voted last night. I don’t always give much attention to Congress these days because of too much politics but this time I’m break the apathy. I hope the rest of the nations joins to the call for vigilance on this issue.

    I agree that charter change should be strongly opposed. I believe that it’s not the “representatives of the people” who will decide if change is necessary or not. It should be the people not them who will decide. Why? Because obviously majority of politicians wanted to become politicians because of money. List one not getting his honorarium or not taking kick-backs and P.I. will sink in the Pacific. Politicians should stop being politicians and start becoming people’s servants and change will happen in this country I’m sure. Thank you for this intrepid post Noemi.

    Shame on those congressman… ang kakapal ng mukha nila.. pinaglalaruan nila ang ating konstitusyon para lang palawigin ang panunungkulan ng kanilang among gloria macapagal arroyo.. nakikiisa at nakikisimpatya ako sa mga sambayanang pilipino para sa pakikipaglaban sa ating demokrasya. kung kinakailangan bumalik sa kalye, gawin natin para sa ating mga anak at para sa hinaharap.

    The point is that the P.I. is a small country and it is too represented by politicians who are actually businessmen. Everybody also wants to be a congressman – see how many party list are represented in the house of corruption. One can participate in a government without being a politician and I guess that is almost impossible in the Philippines. The people also are to be blamed – if nobody took those money for vote buying I guess it’s a different story really. It’s a matter of educating the mass, the people, the voters.

    Hi Ms. Noems,

    I was going to comment on this a long time ago but that was around the time this crashed, LOL. I was so mad when I heard about the railroading of 1109 that I sat down in the office and cried.

    Anyway, maybe those whose congressmen/women opposed con-ass can also put on their blogs:

    “I am PROUD of my Congressman/woman (name, district and province) for OPPOSING HR1109.”

    Just a thought. After all, my congresswoman did oppose con-ass XD

    Charter Change has long been overdue. If it cannot happen today or after 2010; I don’t think there will be a charter change in the future, i.e. 2024 or 2030 because the people are not really open-minded with these things.

    Should we allow the familiar pattern of opposing progress, I would not be surprised if our elections will still not be automated by 2024 or 2030!

    I don’t believe that changing the constitution is the key to good governance. Change must start from within our selves and from the politicians who aspire to serve the FIlipino people. They need to realize that their power came from God and not by their own might and strength.

    Shame on people who wants to prolong their term just for personal gain and gratification. We are people of democracy, we should live that way. This freedom was fought by our heroes and we will not just give it up with “selfish people” without a fight.

    I do not believe that changing our constitution is the answer to good governance. Changes should start within ourselves and to those politician who are currently elected and those who aspire to serve the Filipino people. They must realized that the power they have now comes from God and not from their own strength and might.

    Shame on those people who wanted to extend their term for personal gain and gratification. We are people of democracy, we should live that way. Our heroes and ancestors fought for our freedom. We should not give it up without a fight.

    i am not anti con-ass and the more i am not for con-ass, but don’t you all think this is just a waste of time? these bloggings and eyeballs, rallies etc. di pa rin nila tayo marinig, at kung naririnig man tayo ng mga tao dyan sa House, still they don’t give a “D”. Because kahit na dumarami na ang sumisigaw sa kalye para ibasura ang con-ass, still there are politicians who obviously will walk side by side with us shouting anti-con-ass slogans, nagbabalat-kayo lamang for their own benefits. Di man lang sila marunong mahiya. Nakakawalang gana kung iisipin, nakakaawa kung titingnan ang mga Pilipino, laging naniniwala sa mga dalang pangako ng mga pulitiko, na alam naman nating mapapako lamang iyon, at patuloy pa rin tayong magbulag-bulagan, umaasa sa mga pangako nilang PAGBABAGO. Dahil ang pagbabago ay dapat magsimula sa ating sarili. Magpapa-uto pa rin ba tayo sa mga taong niluklok natin sa gobyerno? Pilipino ay madaling makalimot at madaling magpatawad.

    im happy that our congressman(Province Of Antique-JAVIER) is not on the list and at the same time proud for opposing CON-ASS?i don’t think revising the kind of governance that we have at present is the key for a more progressive state why?because it’s not the first time to amend the constitution as we all know it happened many times already.I think the problem is the government officials which is so greedy and selfish for which they always see to it that it is for their personal interest.
