Upon learning of Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile’s resolution calling on the Senate and the House of Representatives to convene as a constituent assembly (Con-Ass) to approve amendments to the Constitution, I told myself, finally, a breakthrough. It was the first such resolution filed in the present Senate, which has rebuffed Cha-cha as part of its longstanding stand-off with the Palace.

A perceptive reading of the majority opinion of Justice Antonio Carpio and the principal dissent by Senior Justice Reynato Puno unravels a clash of opposing views on three critical issues underlying the People’s Initiative ("PI") undertaken by  certain groups led by Raul Lambino and Erico Aumentado (the "Lambino Group").

Diehard advocates and proponents of Charter change (Cha-cha) have not lost hope, especially after they got seven out of the 15 Justices of the Supreme Court (SC) who voted in favor of the people’s initiative to amend the country’s 1987 Constitution. To them, the 8-7 decision by the SC last Oct. 25 was not a defeat. The split decision, in fact, has kept their hopes alive to ask for a reconsideration.

One of those perennial business group leaders who likes to ingratiate himself with whoever is in Malacañang was asked what he thought of the Supreme Court decision on People’s Initiative. He reportedly replied that it is a pity we have lost the chance to amend the Constitution to improve the business climate.
