Congressmen apparently boycotted their session yesterday in protest over President Estrada's veto of special provisions in the budget law.

The boycott is part of the passive strike of the House which has been unable to take up any of the important pending administration-sponsored bills since the presidential veto earlier this month.

It was sad, piercingly painful looking at Jaime Cardinal Sin Friday at the EDSA Shrine as he went about his chores. When seated before the Mass, the visage that once swept a room or a hall with priestly luminosity now hang with a grave melancholy. If I may be pardoned a figure of speech, Cardinal Sin Friday looked like a great St. Bernard, stricken with illness, jowls loose and hanging, his gaze fixed wanly in space as in a reverie.

What's the status of the latest Charter change initiative, called Constitutional Correction for Development? In just the first six weeks of the year, the government has changed its position several times on this controversial issue. In his report to the nation at the start of the year, President Estrada announced that he had junked Concord. As his popula-rity rating recovered slightly, he changed his mind and again made a pitch for Charter change. When criticisms once again mounted, it was announced that Concord had been frozen.

President Estrada has assured the country's top foreign creditors that he would not pursue his proposed Constitutional Correction for Development (Concord) for now as he wanted Congress to prioritize some pending economic reform bills.

The President, at a press briefing yesterday, said he has officially told the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank (WB) his decision to set Concord aside.

He said the two agencies need not worry that Concord would further delay the completion of key reforms in the country's economy.

CLARK FIELD, Pampanga -- The Constitutional Correction for Development (Concord) is the only way the government can come up with $48 billion needed to upgrade telecommunications, power generation and road networks that would be at par with the country's progressive Asian neighbors.

This was the belief expressed by President Estrada over the weekend in this former US air base.

Apparently buoyed by his improving poll ratings, President Estrada said yesterday he would pursue his Constitutional Correction for Development (Concord).

The President earlier announced he was deferring Concord, a move perceived as an attempt to boost his slipping popularity.

However, his net satisfaction rating has reportedly gone up to 28 percent in the latest poll of Pulse Asia, an independent research outfit.
