Cha-Cha is Not a Priority
President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III would not prioritize the amendment of Charter Change even if would help the peace agreement with the 12,000-strong Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
While Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) chief negotiator Marvic Leonen believes that cha-cha is a lasting peace settlement with the rebel groups in Mindanao, PNoy never closed his door to cha-cha but still it is not one of his priorities.
As of late, there were two Cha-cha proposals in the house. One came from Pampanga 2nd district Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s House Resolution 8. The other is filed by La Union 1st district Rep. Victor Ortega stated in House Joint Resolution 3.
However, the administration is optimistic in providing peace with the MILF.
