There will be elections in 2007 - Bunye

Manila (31 January 2006) -- "There will be elections in 2007 but we can be sure that President Arroyo will serve her full term unless the people say otherwise in a Constitutionally-sanctioned process."

Thus said Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye as the Palace ends the issue on the 'No-election' in 2007 following the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) and former President Fidel V. Ramos' call to the Arroyo government to pursue the elections next year.

Bunye, who is also the Presidential Spokesman, said Charter change is a campaign promise of the President and so is her mandate to do the best she can and to serve as long as her oath demands.

"We have promised the people a complete overhaul of the system and full term economic plan go with it," he pointed out.

He stressed that the Arroyo administration shall gear the country towards economic, political, and social development through Charter change.

"We shall leave no stone unturned in our endeavor to take the country to first world status in 20 years, with a new Constitution as our cornerstone," Bunye added. (PIA-MMIO)
