Charter change must aim to help poor – Go

FOLLOWING the approval of a bill in the House of Representatives that operationalizes the constitutional convention to introduce amendments to the 1987 Constitution, Sen. Christopher Lawrence "Bong" Go emphasized the need to ensure that any amendment must benefit the people, particularly the poor, and not politicians.

In an interview on Wednesday, March 15, Go reiterated that if the proposal to amend the Constitution would come to a vote, he would make sure that the interests of the people and the poor are considered.
