STAND ON CHARTER CHANGE ISSUE:
Defensor, for his part, admitted con-ass, which he called Malacaňang’s “best option”, needs the concurrence of the Senate.
“Without the support of the Senate, then again we go back to the Supreme Court for a legal decision, and that I think is the problem,” he said.
Defensor admitted he would rather support the holding of a constitutional convention. At least we get the senate support and the basic sector supporting us, the church leaders,” Defensor said.
