Why won’t they heed people’s voice vs Cha-cha?
Marcos' endorsement of the proposal to focus only on economic Cha-cha did not help the Cha-cha advocacy.

From saying that the 1987 Constitution is “in perfect condition,” former president Rodrigo Duterte now says he supports efforts to amend it for as long as the changes won’t benefit incumbents and the winners in the next election.
How can we trust these politicians and their business cohorts behind Cha-cha, who resort to underhanded tactics to get what they want in the guise of economic development?
Former president Rodrigo Duterte now repeatedly and publicly calls on the military and police to “protect the Constitution” and “correct” the Marcos administration’s purported plan to perpetuate itself in power by amending it.
Sa isang press conference noong Enero 7 sa Davao City, itinanggi ni Duterte ang pagkakasangkot sa umano'y mga pagsisikap sa destabilisasyon laban sa administrasyong Marcos. Sinabi niya na siya ay naging isang pangulo at walang nakitang dahilan upang palitan si Marcos, at sinabing siya ay "komportable" sa kanyang kahalili.
Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri is now saying the Senate will review the economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution, following a meeting with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Jan. 11.
Sinabi ni Zubiri na itinuturing ng pangulo na "masyadong divisive" ang patuloy na kampanya ng people's initiative para sa charter change na itinulak ng kanyang mga kaalyado sa House of Representatives, at hiniling sa Senado na "manguna" sa pagrepaso sa mga probisyon tungkol sa ekonomiya ng Konstitusyon.
Hindi na raw kailangan ng Charter Change dahil wala naman daw mali sa 1987 Constitution, sabi ni dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte. Taliwas ito sa posisyon niya noong siya ay nasa pwesto pa. Nagbago na nga ba ang ihip ng hangin?
Multiple social media posts claimed that President Bongbong Marcos put a stop to the collection of signatures in support of cha-cha. This is not true.
The deceptions in shortcutting the Cha-cha process should unmask the politicians’ self-serving agenda to extend their term and change the form of government to allow them to stay on.
