Malacañang admitted on Wednesday that the government was “working tirelessly” to promote Charter change to Filipinos following the Pulse Asia survey that showed 64% were not in favor of changing or amending the 1987 Constitution.

“This implies there is still a lot of work to be done by the government in informing, educating and reaching out to our countrymen regarding constitutional reforms,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.

“The Duterte administration is thus working tirelessly in promoting to the public the workings of a federal set-up, a campaign promise of the President to bring government closer to the people,” Roque added.

The survey, conducted from March 23 to 28, showed a 20-point increase from the 44% who opposed Charter change in another Pulse Asia survey in 2016.

President Rodrigo Duterte had earlier formed a consultative committee tasked to review the 1987 Constitution.
