Lo and behold, the president is headlined today to favor a second term, and therefore a requisite charter change from his present 6-year term without reelection, to a second term. This is a 180 degree turn from his previous avowed distaste for charter change. It is also in keeping with former presidents' desire to stay in power, from Marcos to Macapagal-Arroyo, minus the first Aquino. In a way, a fermented wish. Or is it demented?
Both sides in a conflict can also change their mind, for good or for bad. That is one reason the presence of lawyers is discouraged, because it is another factor in the decision-making, even when both sides have just about made-up their minds, on their own. And the lawyer's motive is not always altruistic and even if so, could likewise delay the settlement.
Change could be beneficial. The question that has to be answered, is for whom?
