10 Mindanao bishops rebuke ‘bogus, politicians-initiated’ Cha-Cha movement
‘This is a sham, as this initiative does not emanate voluntarily from us, nor is it new to us,’ reads a statement released by the Mindanao-based bishops
CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – Bishops from different Mindanao regions issued a scathing rebuke aimed at the nation’s political figures over what they called a bogus attempt to amend the 1987 Constitution in the guise of a people’s initiative.
In a joint statement released on Wednesday, February 14, Catholic, United Church of Christ of the Philippines (UCCP), and Iglesia Filipina Independiente (IFI) bishops denounced the nationwide gathering of signatures for charter change, saying the so-called people’s initiative has been exposed as a political maneuver aimed to tamper with the Constitution to serve vested interests.
