My first impulse was elation upon reading Philstar’s latest headline: “Noy open to Cha-cha, lifting of term limit.” I thought it would be a good guage of media’s recent headlines bannering PNoy’s nose-dive in recent surveys on how the majority of Pinoys regard the president’s performance.
On second thought, if the term limit is lifted in the constitution, I can almost see the crooked politicians’ glee while salivating and wringing their greedy hands on the sidelines.
Personally, if this president’s term limit is extended by the “bosses”, the extension should only be for one additional term – only to allow current ongoing reforms to reach satisfactory completion. On the other hand, it is more important to ensure that the constitutional ban against political dynasties should be made fully implementable. This crowning glory will allow PNoy’s legacy to highlight the lifting of the Filipinos’ decades-old serfdom where the rich get richer while the poor get poorer.
