Experts say Charter Change can end political dynasties, boost economic growth

Experts said at the non-partisan Pandesal Forum in Quezon City that the proposed charter change of the 1987 constitution can help end the Philippines’ notorious, age-old tradition of political dynasties dominating local government units (LGUs) nationwide; it shall boost “more inclusive economic growth” by decentralizing government funds and encourage more business investments outside the National Capital Region (NCR) of Metro Manila. It is envisioned to craft “one of the world’s most modern and truly democratic constitutions in the world”.
