                    [Summary] =>

This was long before Sen.Richard "Dick" Gordon suggested last week legislated Cha-cha as an alternative mode to amend the country’s Constitution. Over a cup of coffee and sandwiches that I relished a few months back with then Presidential adviser for jobs generation Arthur C.Yap, he was telling me there could be a way out of the fractious talks even among Cha-cha proponents on what mode to do this.

What is objectionable is the bishops’ presumption that the CBCP as a collegial body should have a say on these matters. They may have a right to their opinion as individuals or as citizens but not when they use the CBCP as their mouthpiece.
