Would there even be an election? A reflection on the proposed CHACHA referendum

The importance to know what people think with regards to Charter Change, is a critical and pivotal move for the part of the government to open its doors to the "sovereign" people.

The better question here is that, would this mean that whatever the people would vote for would really be the basis? Or would this be another political circus where in we are the clowns and the government would "just" be the laughing audience?

With how the lawmakers are running the show, I cannot help but notice that they are trying different maneuvers to start the process of changing our constitution. This means that they were trying to do it on their own before they even thought about the referendum that would show what the sovereign people would want to support.

Before we go any further with the debates of ideas and the actual execution of the referendum, let us be certain that there would still be an election next year. Let us be vigilant that we would not fall victims again to GMA’s political trickery.
