THE ongoing hearings at the Senate on the people's initiative (PI) of the House of Representatives confirmed what the public knew all along. That it was the House that plotted the whole Charter change effort using so-called useful idiots as fronts for the people's initiative. The House puppet masters hardly covered their tracks though and sheepishly claimed they were just 'facilitators of a democratic effort' after the unraveling of their plot. Again, as expected, it was the opponents of Charter change that came to the Senate hearings with words of constitutional wisdom and warnings on legislative overreach. They also cautioned that the economic miracle that the proponents said would take place post-amendment is a mirage and has no basis in reality.
