The Gospel demands it, say the bishops

President B. S. Aquino 3rd swiftly reacted to the August 27 Lipa Declaration calling for his immediate resignation by announcing that he will no longer push for a constitutional amendment to allow him to seek a second term.

That is not nearly half as good as his resignation,  or a solemn pledge that he will do everything now to make sure the next election does not merely become a cheap rerun of the 2010 and 2013 “hocus PCOS” operations using Smartmatic’s precinct count optical scan machines.
