Adamat addressed various concerns of the the audience raised during the open forum, such as: "the change will lessen corruption, it is a platform based politics, lawmakers are also the implementers of the enacted law."

The Peoples Initiatives on Charter Change has created various public opinions in our country particular in the grass roots level. In order to create an atmosphere of understanding along the countryside, the government spearheaded campaign so that people will realize the impact of this in our county.

The event was covered by STV6 of Olongapo City, a local cable network, who aired the report the following day at Balitang OZ, 11 AM, with replay on the same day at 5:00 PM.

A random sampling of verbal interviews conducted by PIA at the reception area revealed that most of these government personnel have limited knowledge on this campaign so that after this seminar have enlightened them all.

One of the main issues raised by the participants was some people in the barangay level were made to sign for the charter change, and paid an amount for signifying their signatures, which the speaker’s denied that these do not belong to the 15 members of the AdCom of the Charter Change. (PIA)
