                    [Summary] => 

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will pick out only six political parties entitled to field their own watchers on election day.


In Resolution 7824, the Comelec explained a political party would qualify to dispatch a recognized watcher based on their established records or showing in past elections.


Comelec said they would also check the number of incumbent elective officials belonging to these parties and "their identifiable political organizations and strengths as evidenced by their organized chapters."

Changes made to the 1973 Constitution that merged executive and legislative powers under the Marcos presidency were simply termed as an amendment, proving that the proposed parliamentary switch via a people’s initiative merely amends the 1987 Charter, two constitutional experts said yesterday.

Officials of the Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) said yesterday that the country’s American-style bicameral system has led to the duplication of functions, waste of public funds and failure to produce legislation that would propel economic development following the declaration of Philippine independence in 1946.

                    [Summary] => While a dialogue between the House of Representatives and the Senate for the convening of a constituent assembly for Charter amendments is a logical step, Malacañang remains neutral over the efforts of the House to seek such dialogue.
