Arroyo allies push Charter change

House plenary vote on Con-ass bid likely.

MANILA, Philippines—Pronouncements of the death of a move in the House of Representatives to amend the Constitution without the participation of the Senate may have been greatly exaggerated.

A majority of the lawmakers still support House Resolution No. 1109 and a plenary vote on the Charter change (Cha-cha) measure is likely in the next two weeks, according to Nueva Ecija Rep. Rodolfo Antonino.
