                    [Summary] => The Malacañang-backed Charter change advocacy commission (ad-com) directed its information campaign yesterday toward government offices, calling on civil servants to become an "army" for constitutional amendments.

"They understand the need for a more efficient government."

Lorenzana said government employees could become effective "constitutional warriors" once informed of the changes needed in the Constitution.
