Key business groups’ pullout of support for Charter change proposals only highlight that even those who support economic liberalization acknowledge its risks, Gabriela Rep. Arlene Brosas said. | GabrielLaluINQ

However, even officials within the administration’s circle like former Senate president and now Chief Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile have opposed the proposal, as it would be a ‘disservice’ to put the burden on taxpayers.Brosas hopes that more organizations speak up against charter change, especially female business chambers, claiming that the proposal really cannot solve the economic woes encountered by the country.

She also urged colleagues in the Senate to defer discussions on charter change — saying that talks should instead center on how to help workers cope with rising costs of basic goods. “We welcome this change of heart of the Makati Business Club along with other business groups and female business chambers as regards Chacha. We hope other big business chambers will join the growing opposition against the costly constitutional convention or ConCon which does not carry any immediate solution to our economic woes,” said Rep. Brosas.

“Dagdag-sahod dapat ang talakayin ng parehong Kamara at Senado at tiyakin ang pagpasa ng mga panukala para sa kagyat na alwan ng mga manggagawa bago ang Mayo Uno, hindi itong ConCon na pilit na pilit at hindi nakatono sa hinaing ng sambayanang Pilipino,” she added.
