Aquino now ‘open’ to term extension

AFTER keeping his cards close to his chest for quite sometime, President Benigno Aquino 3rd on Wednesday said he is now open to the idea of a possible term extension to ensure that the era of reform he has begun continues to unfold beyond a six-year term.

In an interview broadcast on TV5 on Wednesday, the President admitted thinking about amending the Constitution, seeing the need to clip what he described as the “limitless” powers of the Supreme Court.
