 n.— «Arroyo is pressing ahead with her plans for constitution change, also widely known in the Philippines as “Cha Cha”, short for Charter Change. Under the proposal, the present two parliamentary bodies would be reduced to one, which would elect a prime minister, reducing the current executive president to a largely formal head of state. Arroyo has also made a series of proposals to remove constitutional restrictions on the operation of foreign capital in the Philippines.» —“Renewed efforts to impeach Philippines president” by John Roberts World Socialist Web Site July 14, 206.
