Negrenses, like people everywhere else in the country, are watching with eager anticipation the latest news on whether the 2007 polls will still push through, with a pending bill calling for Congress to convene into a constituent assembly (con-ass) to amend the 1987 Constitution.


All Negros Occidental congressmen appear to have rallied behind con-ass.


Speaker Jose de Venecia said Tuesday that senior leaders of the majority coalition at the House had agreed to support the proposed con-ass.

Yet believe it or not, 12 of its 27 provinces are jueteng-free: Batanes, Kalinga, Apayao, Ifugao, Mountain Province, Aurora, Romblon, Mindoro Occidental, Palawan, Marinduque, Catanduanes, Masbate. Not that there are no vice lords or politician-police shields in the dozen. Other gambling forms thrive: video-karera (horserace), tupada (illicit cockfight), or the easy Last-2 that plays on official lotto draws or final score of professional basketball matches.

Negrenses, like people everywhere else in the country, are watching with eager anticipation the latest news on whether the 2007 polls will still push through, with a pending bill calling for Congress to convene into a constituent assembly (con-ass) to amend the 1987 Constitution.


All Negros Occidental congressmen appear to have rallied behind con-ass.


Speaker Jose de Venecia said Tuesday that senior leaders of the majority coalition at the House had agreed to support the proposed con-ass.
