SUPPORT CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION (CON-CON) FOR CHARTER CHANGE TO A FEDERAL FORM OF GOVERNMENT WHY: UNDER THE PRESENT POLITICAL SYSTEM WHICH IS THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM, PRACTICALLY ALL POWERS ARE VESTED IN A HIGHLY CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT WHICH MAKES THE PRESIDENT TOO POWERFUL. THE CONCENTRATION OF POWER AT THE TOP INEVITABLY RESULTS IN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC IMBALANCE AND INJUSTICE. IT IS THE REASON WHY MANY REGIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES REMAIN POOR AND UNDERDEVELOPED SINCE PEOPLE FROM PROVINCES ARE LESS REPRESENTED. POVERTY IN TURN HAS SPAWNED WIDESPREAD CRIMINALITY,REBELLION AND SECESSION, SPECIALLY IN THE MOST NEGLECTED AREAS LIKE MINDANAO,SOME PARTS OF LUZON AND VISAYAS. UNDER A FEDERAL FORM OF GOVERNMENT,EACH REGION HANDLES ITS OWN AFFAIRS. ITS IMMEDIATE EFFECT IS A WIDER DISTRIBUTION OF NATURAL RESOURCES. THIS WILL SOLVE POVERTY NATIONWIDE, LESSEN IF NOT ELIMINATE CORRPUTION, ESTABLISH NEW PRODUCTION AND TRADING CENTERS, AND LEAD TO FAST MODERNIZATION OF THE COUNTRY. THE WHOLE EFFECT WILL TRANSLATE INTO A REAL OF BOUYANCY,A FEELING THAT THE COUNTRY IS IMPROVING,THAT PROGRESS IS NOT ONLY A DREAM BUT IS TRULY ATTAINABLE,THAT THERE IS REALLY A THING CALLED HOPE, AND FINALLY IT WILL TRIGGER MORAL REGENERATION. THIS RETURN TO THE NORMS OF CIVILIZATION IN TERMS OF RIGHT AND WRONG,AND JUSTICE FOR ALL WILL BE THE REAL BLESSING OF FEDERALIZATION. HOW CAN YOU MAKE THE FEDERAL SYSTEM A REALITY? ASK YOUR DISTRICT OR SECTORAL REPRESENTATIVE TO ENACT A LAW CALLING FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION NOW! CONVINCE YOUR LOCAL OFFICIALS TO SUPPORT THE MOVE FOR A CHARTER CHANGE AND THE IDEA OF FEDERALIZATION. HELP DESSIMINATE INFORMATION ABOUT THE FEDERAL SYSTEM AND WHAT IT CAN DO FOR THE PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR REGION. PROVINCE, CITY OR MUNICIPALITY. ORGANIZE AND BE ACTIVE IN YOUR COMMUNITY IN SUPPORT OF FEDERALIZATION! "WE NEED CHANGE. AND IN ORDER TO PURSUE CHANGE, WE MUST BE BRAVE AND OPEN MINDED. LET US PUSH THROUGH AND SUPPORT THIS ONE TO ATTAIN A PRO-PEOPLE GOVERNMENT THAT WE ALL LONGED FOR." DOUGLAS O ROSETE, SULONG MINDANAO CHAIR,MEMBER NATIONAL MOVEMENT FOR FEDERALIZATION
