Needless to say, this particular congressman isn’t a PNoy ally.
“The Catholic Church, lawyers, and labor groups have expressed strong opposition to President Aquino’s pronouncement that he is open to constitutional amendments that will lift his term limit and clip judicial powers, saying it smacked of the seeds of dictatorship,” reports The Philippine Star.
Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) party-list Rep. Antonio Tinio was quoted as saying, “Where is he getting the gall to ask for a second term? He now wants to clip the powers of the Supreme Court (SC) that called him out for doing so. Who knew that daang matuwid could turn out to be a shortcut to tyranny?”
