ISSUE: EXPRESSING THE PEOPLE'S SENTIMENTS ON

HR 1109 Creating the House as a Constituent Assembly to change the Constitution

VOX POPULI HR 1109: TOOL FOR PERPETUAL POWER


We, the leaders of Kaya Natin! A National Movement for Good Governance and Ethical Leadership wish to express our strong condemnation of House Resolution 1109 which will allow the House of Representatives to convene itself into a Constituent Assembly.

We believe that this is a blatant attempt by the present administration and its allies to perpetuate itself in power beyond 2010. Moreover, we believe that this goes against what majority of Filipinos want as seen by recent survey results that show majority of Filipinos are not amenable to any form of Charter Change before the 2010 National Elections.

...We believe that our lawmakers should go beyond their personal interests and give priority to ensuring the passage of policies and laws...

Finally, we appeal to all our lawmakers to live out what it truly means to be duly-elected representatives of their constituents
