                    [Summary] => The Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) has proposed to Congress the creation of a "truth commission" to prevent the revival of dictatorship in the country.


PCGG Commissioner Ruben Carranza Jr. said such a commission has been proven effective in stopping tyranny in countries like Argentina and Chile.


"A ‘truth commission’ has helped Argentina and Chile to overthrow dictatorship. This might also help us prevent a revival of tyranny in the country," he said.
