                    [Summary] => 

Sen. Edgardo Angara, who is seeking reelection under the administration’s Team Unity, wants the Supreme Court to have less powers. Guesting on ABS-CBN News Channel in the first wave of election-related debates on Monday night, Angara said he would support the administration’s Charter change initiative, if it is resurrected and if he wins in May, to prevent the Supreme Court from "intervening in too many controversies."


He said he would also like the economic provisions of the Constitution rewritten to encourage investments.
