We strongly denounce the railroading of the House of Representatives’ unconstitutional Resolution 1109 calling to convene Congress as a constituent assembly to amend the Philippine Constitution.
We believe the resolution is intended to change the charter in order to strengthen Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s hold on the reins of power either through term extension, a shift to parliamentary system of any other underhanded device.
Paid hacks of Mrs. Arroyo will deny that we who have strong memories of the Marcos years know for sure: HOR Resolution 1109 is a prelude to an Arroyo dictatorship. We vowed “never again,” after Martial Law. Never again, indeed.
We call on the people, on people’s organizations and the Opposition to unite to oppose and defeat this anti-democratic and self-serving move on the part of Malacañang and its cohorts in the House of Representatives.
We cannot sacrifice our children’s future to benefit a corrupt and illegitimate leadership.
Join nationwide protests against Con-Ass.
In one voice, we say: “Junk Con-Ass now!”
