Lawyer Neri Colmenares, Human Rights Adviser of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines and Chairperson of the Bayan Muna Partylist, has once again denounced the contentious Charter Change as the 'most dangerous' political movement to date. .He argues that it not only threatens national unity among Filipinos but also imposes negative controls on social, political, and economic spheres.
“We are against Cha-Cha, not just the People’s Initiative. We are against not just term extension but opening the economy to transnational corporations. So I think that our platform is very different. Of course, we are not discouraging anybody. Ang cha-cha namin na position is on the issue of whether or not this is good for the Filipino people in general, rather than good or not good for a particular candidate ,' Colmenares added.
