IN THE NEWS: For Bayan Muna Reps. Neri Colmenares and Carlos Zarate, two of Aquino’s impeachment endorsers, the President made a categorical statement that he is open to Cha-cha in his recent television interview. They said the Palace “is now trying to belittle or even withdraw President Aquino’s Cha-cha and term extension statement because of the heavy flak it received from all sectors of society and the growing mass protests against it. “All this talk about Cha-cha being merely a messaging ploy to diffuse public perception of President Aquino as a lame duck president is untrue. This is not a trial balloon but a serious attempt at Cha-cha no different from President Arroyo’s supposedly innocent ‘Let the great debate on Charter change begin’ in 2005,” the two said. They added that Aquino’s television interview was a signal to his allies to rally support for Cha-cha.
