A House deputy speaker on Tuesday urged his fellow lawmakers to leave the issue of Charter change to the incoming 19th Congress.
He said the 19th Congress should resolve during the early part of its three-year term the matter of what to do with Cha-cha. He said every constitutional amendment initiative since the Ramos presidency failed because it was pursued at the 11th hour, giving rise to suspicions that the outgoing administration and its allies were out to lengthen their stay in office.
Gonzales said the current term of office is not enough to counter the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic.
