CBCP warns against moves to speedily push Charter change or Cha-cha.
Stop the music and no dancing please!
* * *
But Sigaw ng Bayan claims it has 8.3 million signatures to back up Charter change via people’s initiative.
The voice of the people is the voice of God.
* * *
Catholic bishops lament that the feverish move to amend the Constitution and shift to parliamentary form of government is "dangerously unclear and open to manipulation by groups and self-serving interests."
* * *
Signature campaign lacks adequate information, discussion, and education, adds CBCP.
Haste makes waste, as the saying goes.
* * *
Malacañang assures CBCP of transparency in pushing for people’s initiative and Cha-cha.
We’re open. Don’t leave the dance floor, friends.
* * *
Palace also laments New York Times’ scathing editorial "Dark Days of Philippine Democracy" criticizing repression, etc.
It’s still full of democratic space here, Press Secretary Bunye shoots back from the Palace.
* * *
Opposition says NYT editorial could be reflective of Washington’s officialdom sentiment and the administration should correct its mistakes.
A time for reflection and cleansing.
* * *
Opposition to Malacañang: Don’t intimidate us!
Malacañang to opposition: Don’t incinerate us!
* * *
Opposition calls for snap polls like that in neighboring Thailand.
Palace: No way! Just migrate to Thailand!
* * *
Opposition to President GMA: Do a Thaksin!
PGMA retorts: Mga Taksil!
* * *
Philippine politics heats up anew.
Please stop it! Burning summer is enough.
* * *
Government goes on alert vs. terrorists who might carry out attacks this Holy Week.
Please don’t disturb us! We’re praying!
* * *
As the Christian world observes Holy Week, it appears wise for the nation to reflect on Palm Sunday’s message: Peace!
