Maging sa mismong Kamara ay matatag din ang paninindigan ng mga kontra rito at kahit umano magpalit pa ito ng pangalan, mapa-ConAss man o mapa-ConCon, ay hindi pa rin ito kakagatin ng tao.
Ang tinutukoy ni Gab riela partylist Rep. Liza Maza ay ang pagpihit ng mga kasamang mambabatas sa Kamara na idaan sa Constitutional Convention (ConCon) sa halip na ituloy ang naunang pina borang paraan na Consti tuent Assembly (ConAss).
“Whatever they call it, whether it’s Con-Ass or Con-con, the fact remains that the Filipino people oppose charter change under the Arroyo government. Once and for all, they should stop all this name game.”
Thus said Rep.Liza Maza of Gabriela Women’s Party today as GMA’s allies in the House of Representatives stir up efforts to amend the 1987 Constitution, this time through a Constitutional Convention (Con-con).
“We will neither participate in weaving Con-Ass nor listen to her windbags of deception.
