In a draft declaration, the All-Parties Conference said there is a "felt need to change the form of government to one that is more quickly responsive to changing needs and conditions."


"To this end, Congress shall either convene as a constituent assembly or shall call for a constitutional convention whose delegates shall be elected in 2004," the declaration said.

                    [Summary] => Congressmen supporting Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. said yesterday he enjoys broad support and has enough votes to thwart any move by pro-Estrada allies to unseat him.


The Belmonte supporters were reacting to reports that congressmen, led by Rep. Agapito Aquino (LDP, Makati), who remain loyal to deposed President Joseph Estrada will try to retake control of the House.


Belmonte defeated Aquino by a 112-79 vote last week when a Lakas-led majority coalition took over the leadership of the larger chamber of Congress.
