Romuladez who is one of the personalities who wants to be the next Speaker of the House said that the push for Charter change (Cha-cha) should be in the list of priorities of national leaders as this would complement the Duterte administration’s initiatives to accelerate economic growth.
“We will keep our dedication,
commitment, passion and the flame burning in pursuing federalism until we reap
the real benefits of genuine constitutional reforms for our children and the
succeeding generations,” said Romualdez.
“I urge my colleagues and the Filipino people to stand behind
President Duterte and help push a federal Constitution to create opportunities
and for strong economic growth to be also felt by ordinary people,” said

“The federalism advocacy of President Duterte is a golden
opportunity to unlock the doors of peace, progress, and prosperity of the
country and the people,” he added.
