Pimentel: Cha-cha critics protecting flawed charter

CRITICS of moves to amend the 1987 Constitution are protecting a “flawed” charter, Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel 3rd said Thursday.

Pimentel, speaking during the launch of the PDP-Laban book on “Philippine federalism,” was alluding to the comments made by former Chief Justice Hilario Davide that Charter change would be a “leap to hell” and that the 1987 Constitution was already the best in the world because it contains sufficient provisions against abuse of power and guarantees people’s participation in governance.
