Monsod: Implement reforms first before Cha-Cha

MANILA - Reforms should come first before changing the 1987 Constitution, according to a member of the coalition against charter change.

Lawyer Christian Monsod, one of the framers of the existing charter, said Tuesday that if there will be no reforms before shifting to a federalism, disintegration of the union is possible.

Among Monsod's recommendations is to pass an anti-political dynasty law first and to implement this in the 2019 polls. He also sees a need to have strong political party system.
