Is Aquino pushing us to the brink?

Meddling in Court

With less than four months left in office, President B. S. Aquino 3rd seems bent on provoking a massive public protest that could throw out the results, if not preempt and preclude altogether the holding, of the May 9 presidential elections. By meddling in the Grace Llamanzares case, he is undermining the integrity of the Supreme Court and subverting the Constitution and the rule of law, while his minions at the Commission on Elections and its foreign partner Smartmatic try to reduce into one big lie the entire electoral process. All this could push the nation to the brink at a time when peaceful and meaningful change is most needed.
