Chachacha, the Second Dance

The issue of Charter Change can be really beneficial for our country and for our future. The only concern here is the question: Would it be effectively executed under the current GMA Administration?
I can say it can be if: 1. The tenure of the president would be maintained or even shortened (like the 4 year president's term in USA) 2. If weare assured that the leader would make a transition
and not maintain power.

By common sense, GMA is not the person for the job. However, we are faced by problems within and outside the government that calls for change or revolution for some. Chacha could be the venue for that. But with this, we need a catalyst to lead. If GMA lost the trust and confidence of millions of Filipinos then the ideals of Chacha would not be achieved.

This brings us back to the point: We need a strong leader that could garner support and assure us that Chacha's ideals would push... not the selfish political interests.

If I would choose between ERAP and GMA, I would choose the one that the only drive is to redeem himself and give back to the masses what is due them. A person who wants nothing less than make sure if Chacha would push through, that this person could act as a unifying factor, a formidable force and someone who has the confidence of the people. The choice is simple: A president who was deposed and was not able to finish his term, or another president who showed us what she can do to maintain herself in power.

Chacha is for the people. Not for the politicians or other political actors, but SOLELY for the people. Let us choose right.
