Article Abstract:
Some Filipinos fear their nation's economic recovery, which was engineered by Pres Fidel Ramos, will stall when his six-year term ends in 1998. An amendment to the 1987 constitution would be needed to allow him a second term, but many fear an economic slide in the hands of a successor.
