More Filipinos oppose Cha-cha

MORE Filipinos are opposed to amending the 1987 Constitution, with two out of every three people rejecting the proposal to shift to a federal system of government, according to the latest Pulse Asia survey.

The poll, conducted on June 15 to 21 or two weeks before President Rodrigo Duterte’s Consultative Committee (ConCom) completed a draft federal constitution, found that 67 percent of Filipinos opposed Charter change (Cha-cha), against 18 percent who favored it and 14 percent who said they didn’t know or couldn’t answer.
