the problem with changing the Consti

The endless debate to change the Constitution I think will never be over until people change their wants.

Rules are subjective. A right thing for a person may be wrong for another. Its just the way it is.

I commend politicians who want change because really, some of the provisions in our current Consti (1987) are really outdated. But if you see people pushing for it with intentions like changing the system, knowing that they want this change because indirectly they can benefit from it, that's what sucks.

And I cant also blame people for negating change since the behavioral pattern of the local politics doesn't change.

A concrete example is the Cheaper Meds Law. Everybody wants it but pharmas negate it. Politicians meanwhile, ever knowing that good approval points would get you far, know better and pushed for it in an effort to create a political vehicle for the upcoming elections.

Now we have a law, that initially said medicines would be cheaper but who are we kidding right now? The government did not include all, especially those medicines that have very high prices. Where's the sense in that?

And who knows what the final outcome really stated, having witnessed bicam conferences, self-serving provisions can easily be inserted anytime.

so how do we solve this?
