Drilon bares ‘plot’ to railroad Cha-cha

SENATE Minority Leader Franklin Drilon on Sunday bared alleged moves by administration lawmakers to railroad Charter change (Cha-cha) by postponing the May 2018 barangay (village) elections and hold it on a later date simultaneously with the plebiscite on proposed amendments.

According to Drilon, the planned railroading is linked to the objective of some members of the House of Representatives who are already on their last term in Congress to extend their stay by canceling the 2019 mid-term elections.
