WHY STOP CON-ASS?

[duke dolorical]

1. it is not the best way to change the the Philippine Constitution (considering the fact that our Charter was made through a Constitutional Convention) given the reputation of our legislators and the vested personalistic interests they have over such a very sensitive political undertaking that has a direct bearing on our country's political, economic and social course and well-being.

2. Is the timing right? Do we need to change it now? the answer is an obvious NO. we are in the midst of transferring political power and authority from a very corrupt regime to a (hopefully) vibrant and responsive new set of progressive leaders. the ultimate conclusion is, extension of their terms as an add-on to their amendments which are omissive of nationalistic and socially just sentiments.

3. Why eliminate the Senate from the entire process of changing the constitution? Why the brazen disregard for the rules of the House? Why the rush?

answer...they were all paid. they all have their tag prices. 20 million each. 20 million in exchange for the more than 90 million plus voices and well-being of the Filipino nation.


remember the names of these Congressmen, let it be known in our nation's history that together with their infamous president, they have cheated us of our dignity and sovereignty as a people and country. BOYCOT THEM! CHOOSE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE INSTEAD OF THESE CORRUPT ALLIGATORS!


ELECTION 2010 is our payback!


keep the comments coming, the more ideas, the better we could come up with answers to this alarming issue.

[DooDgE]

By sheer arrogance and utter disregard for the supreme law of the land, these congressmen seem to forget the very essence of their titles. As congressmen, they should know that the Constitution itself defines the very composition of the Philippine Congress - that the Congress is composed of two houses. It is unimaginable that they insist that amendment or revision of the Constitution can be done singlehandedly by the House of Representatives alone. How can they get the notion that just because the Constitution is silent as to how voting is to be done, the same would refer to their chamber alone? And it is a shame that they have to utilize the argument that they did the call for a Constituent Assembly in order for the Supreme Court to decide on the veracity of their claim. There can only be two sides on their coin. One is that they lack the lucidity to comprehend the most basic law that they wish to revise. The other is far more repulsive - that these representatives of the people would trade their principles for money and ambition.

It is but sad to look at how things would turn out in the books of history that their children would study in the years to come. I would rather not compare them to Judas as he sought repentance by hanging himself on the tree. It has been shown time and again that the conscience of these proConAss Congressmen do not bother them at all. Constitutionalists, deans of law schools, and authorities on the matter have reacted adverse to their cause, but still they would not budge. They are proud, they are stubborn, and they cannot be reasoned with. Nevertheless, fate always has a way of turning the tide. What goes around, comes around.

If it is indeed evil, it shall not prevail.

(These are but my humble views on the issue.
God Bless the Philippines.
Happy Independence Day to All.)

ANNEX A


“A RESOLUTION CALLING UPON THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO CONVENE FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONSIDERING PROPOSALS TO AMEND OR REVISE THE CONSTITUTION, UPON A VOTE OF THREE-FOURTHS OF ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS

“WHEREAS, there are proposals to amend or revise the 1987 Constitution, which is presently enforced, but any of such proposals cannot be considered, heard, debated, approved or disapproved, unless any of the modes expressly provided by Article XVII of the present Constitution is adopted;
“WHEREAS, adopting a mode of amending or revising the Constitution, as mandated by said Article XVII is a condition precedent, a pre-requisite, before specific proposals to amend or revise the Constitution could be considered by the Members of Congress, convened to exercise the constitutionally ordained power to amend or revise the Constitution.
“WHEREAS, there is a recognized distinction between the exercise of legislative powers of Congress from the exercise of the constituent power to amend or revise the Constitution;
“WHEREAS, Congress, in the exercise of its legislative power as provided in Article VI of the 1987 Constitution, cannot amend or revise the Constitution, but it is through the exercise of its constituent power under Article XVII, Section 1 of the Constitution that “any amendment to, or revision of the Constitution may be proposed, upon a vote of three-fourths of all its Members”;
“WHEREAS, while the prescribed method of enacting constitutional change in the 1935, 1973, and 1987 Constitutions are different from the method of enacting ordinary legislation, there is a very distinct and notable difference between the 1935 and the 1987 Constitution, which respectively provides as follows:
The 1935 Constitution:
“The Congress in joint session assembled, by a vote of three-fourths of all Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives voting separately may propose amendments to this Constitution or a call a convention for that purpose.”
The 1987 Constitution:
“Any amendment to, or revision of, this Constitution may be proposed by: (1) The Congress, upon a vote of three-fourths of all its Members; or (2) A constitutional convention.”
“WHEREAS, it is to be emphasized and underscored that some essential words and phrases in the aforequoted 1935 Constitution were deleted and no longer contained in the aforequoted 1987 Constitution, such that the “amendments by deletion” are as follows:
1. The phrase “in joint session assembled” in the 1935 Constitution was deleted;
2. The phrase that the Senate and the House of Representatives, voting separately” was also deleted;
3. The percentage of voting three-fourths of the respective membership of each House (the Senate and the House of Representatives) treated separately has also been deleted and substituted with a vote of three-fourths of all the Members of Congress (i.e., ¾ of the “members of Congress” without distinction as to which institution of Congress they belong to).
“WHEREAS, the intention of the amendments of the 1935 Constitution by deletions of certain words and phrases thereon by the 1987 Constitution are clear and manifest as underscored in the preceding WHEREAS Clauses and by such deletions, the meaning and application of the corresponding provisions of the 1987 Constitution on Amendments and Revision have been changed. There are however oppositors claiming adverse legal interests who claim that, notwithstanding that the express, clear, and unambiguous provision of Article XVII Section 1 of the 1987 Constitution that any amendment to, or revision of the 1987 Constitution that any amendment to, or revision of the 1987 Constitution shall be upon a vote of three-fourths of all the Members of Congress (i.e., not three-fourths of each House voting separately as the oppositors contend), a justiciable controversy involving the active antagonistic assertion of alleged legal rights by the oppositors, on one side, and the denial thereof by the proponents of this Resolution, on the other side, shall ripen for judicial determination as and when this Resolution calling upon the Members of Congress to convene in exercise of its constituent power is filed, heard, and approved.
“WHEREAS, while no specific proposals to amend or revise the present Constitution could formally be given due course unless and until this call to convene Members of Congress, as provided herein, is effected. It is hereby pledged and covenanted by the proponents of this Resolution, that by their signatures hereto that whatever constitutional changes may be proposed at the appropriate time, preferably after the constitutional issues may be proposed at the appropriate time, preferably after the constitutional issues of construction and interpretation by the Honorable Supreme Court of the justiciable controversy that may arise shall have been resolved with finality that:
1. The term of office of the incumbent President and Vice-President shall not be extended;
2. The term of office of Senators, Congressmen, Governors, Mayors, and other elected officials whose term of office shall expire in 2010 shall not be extended;
3. The term of office of the twelve (12) Senators who were elected in 2007 for a six (6) year term ending in 2013 shall not be shortened and they shall be allowed to finish their term;
4. That there shall be elections in 2010.
“WHEREAS, there is a specific proposal that for the Philippines to be internationally competitive in attracting foreign investments and technology transfers that the economic provisions of the Constitution is proposed to be amended in an appropriate manner, but such specific proposal to amend the present Constitution cannot be formally presented and resolved until the mode for amending or revising the Constitution is convened and made operational through the application of Article XVII of the present Constitution.
“NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS BE CONVENED FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO, OR REVISION OF THE CONSTITUTION UPON A VOTE OF THREE-FOURTHS OF ALL ITS MEMBERS AND THAT UPON ITS BEING CONVENED SHALL ADOPT ITS RULES OF PROCEDURES THAT SHALL GOVERN ITS PROCEEDINGS.”
