                    [Summary] => Former Executive Secretary Edelmiro Amante revived yesterday the call for Charter change by pressing for the shift to a federal form of government.


Amante, a former congressman from Agusan del Norte, said the Arroyo administration could help foster the growth and development of Mindanao by heeding its residents’ "overwhelming clamor" for federalism.


He said the highly centralized form of government where nothing moves unless approved by Metro Manila is setting back the development of areas outside the metropolis.
