Cha-Cha Files on i-site

i-site, PCIJ’s information website, is making available documents related to ongoing initiatives to revise the 1987 Constitution.

The Arroyo administration has likened its campaign for charter change to a “train.” While its allies in Congress push for a Constituent Assembly even without the concurrence of the Senate, the so-called people’s initiative is speeding ahead as well.

A petition has been filed asking the Quezon City Regional Trial Court to stop election officers from verifying signatures collected for the campaign for a people’s initiative. Last week, a coalition of cha-cha opponents gathered to launch its nationwide campaign.

The documents on i-site have been previously uploaded in this blog, and now we are organizing them for easier reference.
