SENATE Minority Leader Aquilino 'Koko' Pimentel 3rd questioned the timing of Charter change (Cha-cha) and the inclusion of foreign ownership of land in the move to amend the 1987 Constitution.

The senator, in a television interview on Monday, rejected what he called a 'rider provision' in the so-called economic Cha-cha that will allow foreigners to own land in the Philippines.
