MSOpinion Cha-cha and the need for a comprehensive approach “We cannot take account of everything that lies ahead in the process of and even after we have improved our charter”
“We cannot take account of everything that lies ahead in the process of and even after we have improved our charter”
First, there’s the claim that it is not the right time to have cha-cha without providing a logical explanation as to when will the time be ripe to change our 36-year-old Constitution. This tends to ignore the fact that politics is all about collective choices, which inherently includes the choice of economic provisions that need to be changed.
And third, there’s the claim that cha-cha will not cure our country’s problems and that we must address corruption, political dynasty, poverty, security of tenure, agrarian reform, and other similar issues instead of changing the Constitution. For all we know, these sentiments could turn out to be as meritorious as the advice of French general Ney to Napoleon during the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
