What struck me in the Pulse Asia’s latest survey on Charter Change was how uninformed we are about our Constitution, which we all approved in 1987.
The nationwide survey with 1,800 registered voters 18 years old and above as respondents was conducted June 15 to 21, two weeks before the consultative committee formed by President Duterte to draft a federal Constitution submitted its finished product to Malacañang.
Pulse Asia found out that about three-quarters of Filipinos (74%) have little/almost no/no knowledge at all about the 1987 Philippine Constitution.). Of the total figure (74%), 43% have little knowledge while 31% know practically/completely nothing about the document that spells out the basic laws that govern us.
