With the present composition in Congress, a Catholic prelate said there could be great danger of charter change being undertaken in the 18th Congress.

“Charter Change is in a greater danger to happen to us now than it was last year because the President’s people now have a big majority in both houses after the May 13 elections,” said Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo in a Facebook post.

The face and the reason of Charter Change, Pabillo said, has become clearer now – and that is, to extend the terms of politicians. “It is a sellout of the Philippines to the moneyed foreigners. All the rhetoric that it will bring more investments and give more work for Filipinos is just a cover up to the plunder of the Philippines,” Pabillo added.This, he said, was the reason why they have been opposing any move to change the country’s charter.
