One Judge's Vote- Charter change position accepted

In 2006, President Arroyo's supporters tried the "citizens' petition" route to change the constitution to a unicameral parliament. The SC decision was 8-7 against. But WI the swing vote had voted yes? How long could Arroyo remain PM? IIRC part of the reaction was because Marcos had set up a puppet legislature in the 70s, the Batasang Pambasan, which only became a full parliament in late 1984.

The window dressing might change, but honestly, the place would be as corrupt as it has been for decades. Basically a case of "meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
