From Rappler - Fr. Bernas warns vs term extension
After Fr Joaquin Bernas, a constitutional lawyer, one of the authors of 1987 constitution, former dean of Ateneo Law School, cautions Pres Pnoy on term extension, one begins to wonder, how a man of high integrity would meddle with a constitutional provision.
One can only speculate that it is his political allies, and his subalterns who want to enjoy the hay while they can, are behind this move.
Tama na. You had your day.
As fmr Joker Arroyo, used to say, many of the battles in the govt and controversy are simply battle of commissioners (those who want to get the largasse/commission.
It is not about unfinished business, or wanting to serve the people more. Those who enjoyed the DAP, PDAF want to extend the term, those who did not want to see the constitution enforced. Haaaayyyy
