                    [Summary] => I have been consistent in my belief that the Consultative Constitutional Commission (Con Com) is a superfluity in the whole process of changing our charter. It is not one of those authorized by the charter itself to propose amendments or revisions therein. The results of  its deliberations and the fruits of its labors are nothing but suggestions that can be made by any civic or political group, club or NGOs at the actual start of the process of amendment by the duly authorized Constituent Assembly.

                    [Summary] => A preparatory consultative commission tasked to assist Congress in proposing amendments to the Constitution would immediately start work next month after President Arroyo signs the executive order creating it.


In separate interviews, Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz and Interior Secretary Angelo Reyes said Mrs. Arroyo would sign the EO "anytime soon."

Cruz said the commission, whose official name has yet to be announced, would be composed of 50 representatives from the national and regional levels and sectoral groups.

Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said the draft executive order is now on the President’s desk, awaiting her orders for possible revisions.

"The draft, I believe, is already with the President. It could come out any time soon," Ermita said.

Press Secretary and Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye said Mrs. Arroyo remains focused on her mission to rewrite the Constitution to allow a change to a parliamentary form of government and this stand "is clear and has not changed."

Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita pointed out the senators, though elected at large, are still heavily dependent on local leaders to gain votes for re-election.
