                    [Summary] => A civil liberties group yesterday called the proposed amendments to the Constitution a "bribe" to ensure President Arroyo’s stay in power until 2010.


Lawyers of the Counsels for the Defense of Liberties (Codal) said "shocking" alterations reveal a "pattern of bribery" starting with the controversial plan to suspend elections to extend elected officials’ terms for three more years.

Important provisions that are supposed to be safeguards against such a declaration were surreptitiously deleted in Article VII-A, Section 12 of the proposed Charter, according to the Counsels for the Defense of Liberties (Codal).


Codal warned Congress and the public against falling for this move, as letting it pass would lead the country back to the Marcos era when dictatorship ruled.
