Yes to charter change: Parliamentary System

Article 6 & 7 - Form of Government

 
REFORM the current lousy PRESIDENTIAL Structure to the superior PARLIAMENTARY System
WHY PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM?
  • MUCH LESSER CORRUPTION - Top 10 for the LEAST CORRUPT in the Global Corruption index all operate under PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM;
  • SAVINGS of 400 to 500 BILLION PESOS ANNUALLY potentially due to REDUCTION in CORRUPTION;
  • CHEAPER elections: for the candidates and the electorate, less elections being bought by oligarchs;
  • YEARLY SAVINGS of 30 BILLION PESOS potentially due to cheaper and less elections;
  • COST of RUNNING a GOVERNMENT is very much(maybe 50%) lower in PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM since the EXECUTIVE and LEGISLATIVE branches are fused;
  • VOTE on IDEAS not personalities: LESS DYNASTIES;
  • COMPETITION based on POLICIES : LESS POPULARITY contests / electorate forced to think and prioritize when voting;
  • FASTER ELECTIONS: leads to cheaper elections which again reduces the risk of elections being bought by monopoly seekers / rent seekers/ oligarchs;
  • MINORITY IDEAS get a turn in the spotlight : in a presidential system, mostly ideas backed by the political elite or pushed for by deep pockets get discussed;
  • No more "OUST (INSERT NAME HERE)" shenanigans: if the leader you don't like has truly lost favor with the electorate, a simple NO CONFIDENCE VOTE can oust that person;
  • LESS EXTREMISM: In parliamentary systems, oftentimes no one single party gets to rule outright. This pushes them to form coalitions. This usually ensures that extremist parties don't dominate;
  • INTRAPARTY DISCIPLINE: there are competing egos in every party and this ensures the ones who lead parties truly know their stuff and have internal fortitude;
  • EASE OF DOING BUSINESS will greatly improve especially if handled by REGIONAL PARLIAMENTS;
  • TERM LIMITS and POLITICAL DYNASTIES will be IRRELEVANT;
  • PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM ang sagot natin sa KORUPSYON, POLITICAL DYNASTIES, BALIMBINGAN, WEAK POLITICAL PARTIES, MAHAL NA ELEKSYON, VOTE BUYING, POLITICAL GRANDSTANDING at PERSONALITY BASED POLITICS;
  • PHILIPPINES should shift to PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM using these countries as references (GERMANY, SWITZERLAND, UK, SINGAPORE, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, CANADA, MALAYSIA) NOW na!
#YEStoConstitutionalConvention
#YEStoConstituentAssembly

SHIFTING to FEDERAL PARLIAMENTARY POLITICAL SYSTEM (now unitary presidential)
and ADAPTING a MORE OPEN MARKET ECONOMY by REMOVING all ECONOMIC PROVISIONS in the Constitution (now top 3 most restrictive economy in the world)
are the KEY INITIAL STEPS in UNTANGLING the BUREAUCRATIC MESS from the top to bottom, left and right, that has burdened our COUNTRY for a very long time now.

KALAMPAGIN natin ang mga SENADOR at sabihan natin na aprubahan at trabahoin na ang CHARTER CHANGE na panukala ni SENATOR ROBIN PADILLA at ng mga PDP Laban Senators.
We also support and wholeheartedly thank the HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES for giving priority to Charter Change especially to Representatives Martin Romualdez, Rufus Rodriguez, Richard Gomez and Stella Quimbo.

Matatamasa lang natin ang TUNAY na PAGBABAGO tungo sa pagwasak sa KAHIRAPAN at KORUPSYON kung mababago na natin ang ating SISTEMANG POLITIKAL at EKONOMIYA.
CHARTER CHANGE NOW!
