Senators push ‘federalism’ |
|
Senate resolution likely to lead to changing 1987
Constitution
|
|

or “Cha-cha.”
The possibility of amending the 1987
Constitution loomed on Wednesday night when 11 senators signed a
resolution that seeks adoption of a federal system to replace the
current unitary system of government.
President Gloria Arroyo said revival of Cha-cha
is no longer her priority. She added, though, that she is not
against any constitutional amendments that will pave the way for
federalism.
