In which case, I am seriously bothered by providing this process of initiative as a separate section in the Article on Amendment. Would the sponsor be amenable to accepting an amendment in terms of realigning Section 2 as another subparagrahp (c) of Section 1, instead of setting it up as another separate section as if it were a self-executing provision?

That is the timetable set by the President. It is a timetable accepted by the dominant party Lakas-CMD. The party decision was unanimously supported during its national directorate meeting over the weekend.


From all indications, too, it is a timetable acceptable to former president Fidel Ramos. That is an important factor, considering how the former president has expressed great impatience over the charter change process.
