Charter change possible next year – Miriam |
|
A constituent assembly to amend the Constitution could start next
year despite the Senate consensus that it could wait until after

Fatima University in Valenzuela City, Santiago said Charter change,
or “Cha-cha,” could push through in 2009 if the position of the
House of Representatives on the computation of the three-fourths
vote needed to convert Congress into a constituent assembly would
hold sway.
