While President Arroyo will not stop the debates regarding proposed moves for Charter change by her Lakas-NUCD partymates in Congress, she said the proposed amendments to the 1987 Constitution should not be tied to the suggested postponement of the May 2004 elections.


The President yesterday reiterated her official stand on the topic of Charter change, saying she would not interfere with the democratic debate or take sides in the controversy.
