Dancing Chachacha

As a college lecturer, I am often asked about how CHACHA would or could work. With the questions of students come their comments as regards to how the president's tenure could be affected. Our officials make it appear that CHACHA is but a simple matter. Certainly it is not.

With CHACHA, we could give the Parliamentary-Federal form of government a chance in the Filipino setting. However, we need to demand from our law-makers transparency and accountability in providing information on these matters.

This is important for the youth and for all citizens. So that we can all better grasp and understand the need for CHACHA beyond merely possibly extending this president's term.

We are talking about progress and development here. As we continue clamor for truth, we must not let our traditional politicians use to further entrench themselves.

I say to our leaders, show the Filipino people what really is your idea of CHACHA. Stop using the issue for mere selfish and personal political gains.
