two years before the presidential elections...

i do not know what the deal is again, but its the same story over again. two years before the Philippine presidential elections, the call for Charter Change is on. and by Charter Change, it means that the current government wants to extend their reign of power over the country. though there are changes that i want to be done with the Constitution, i think that changing it for the sake of extending the president's term of office is wrong. especially not this president. besides the fact that she has lost the trust of most Filipinos stricken by poverty and misfortunes, an extended mandate for her is not an option.

we need change, but the problem is its not only our written laws, our Constitution, that needs to be changed. it is the whole mass of people who constitute the government who needs to be changed. not maybe to completely take them out of the office, but a change from within. a change that will serve the country for the better and not to keep on serving themselves.

im being too hopeful...
