Snap election needed to solve RP’s problems – Angara

March 18, 2006 11:50am
After several months of silence, Senator Edgardo Angara on Saturday finally commented on the issues surrounding the present political situation in the country, saying it has become dangerous, GMA-7’s DZBB radio reported.

Angara said the problem within the military is critical as he referred to statements earlier made by former president Fidel Ramos, that President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo only enjoys the support of generals.

Ramos also said that most enlisted men and junior offices want Arroyo out.

In a weekly forum held at the Sulo Hotel in Quezon City, Angara said the only solution left in the country is for Arroyo to call for a snap election.

“But to do this, we need a critical mass of people to support a joint resolution that would amend the constitution that will call for a snap election," Angara said.

He said all it needs are the signatures of five senators and 20 congressmen.-GMANews.TV
