MSOpinion Charter Change, timing and mode of change (1) “Revising the Constitution is a political decision, it is never a question of timing.”
“Revising the Constitution is a political decision, it is never a question of timing.”
Let’s start with this most common of questions and or reservation, that it is not yet time, or that it is not timely to amend the Constitution, that there are so many issues that we should be concerned with and therefore prioritize.There are also those who are more categorical and rather simplistic with their reservation of changing the constitution under the current President, being a Marcos.
As long as we continue with the current setup, we will be electing the same kind of leaders that some will likely not trust enough to change anything fundamental such as the constitution. There are also those who argue that we have to enact laws to effectively implement the good “social justice” provisions in the Constitution and it will then level the playing field in the economy, labor and other related issues.
