                    [Summary] => It is a rather telling event that the Province of Palawan wants to be a federal unit all unto itself should we decide to shift to a federalist system in the event a new Constitution is adopted.


One of the very first resolutions submitted before the Consultative Commission called for Palawan to be declared a federal "state." The motive for this is not hard to see. The province wants to have exclusive share of the revenues from the Malampaya oil and gas fields, leaving none to be enjoyed by the poorer provinces.

Although he favors Cha-cha, Estrada said the opposition would not support De Venecia if Congress convenes itself as a constituent assembly (con-ass) to propose amendments to the Constitution.


Estrada told The STAR yesterday he shared his sentiments with De Venecia when they discussed Cha-cha at his resthouse in Tanay, Rizal about three weeks ago.
