Senator Robinhood Padilla has remained hopeful that more colleagues will join his Charter change train once it is tackled at the plenary, as he acknowledged that his initiative appears to be lacking support in the upper chamber. | BPinlacINQ
“Sa akin ay tuloy-tuloy lang ako. Hindi ko po nakikita na parang ako pinipigilan niya ,” Padilla told reporters.
Asked how he feels about claims that there are only about four or five senators open to discussing Cha-cha, Padilla said he remains upbeat that he still can mount more support for the proposal. Padilla likewise expressed belief that once his colleagues – who believe that constitutional amendments will only be limited to economic provisions – carefully study the committee report and hear his arguments in the plenary, his Cha-cha proposal will pass the Senate.“Ganoon po talaga…Ang kailangan lang magtuloy-tuloy. Huwag ka masiraan ng loob. Kasi talagang pakikibaka ito. Hindi ito makukuha sa santong-dasalan o santong-paspasan; ito makukuha sa debate,” Padilla said.
