…and then there was a room full of advocates for and against Charter Change now. Some were old friends, a few were new faces. All were looking for a way to move forward. Each participant was probably half-listening, more interested in jotting down rebuttals and points of arguments against each other. …and then there was a room full of speakers and ‘mentors’ of Constitutional processes. ... |

| WHY NOT INNOVATE, PILIPINAS? |  |
