Last week, I wrote that the admission of President Benigno Aquino 3rd now being “open” to a second-term in office revealed the height of his hypocrisy and the depth of his mental dishonesty. PNoy must be delusional to think that there is a clamor for him to continue beyond the six-year term limit when his popularity based on approval ratings have plummeted due to the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) scandal.

Why do I accuse PNoy of the brazen hypocrisy and mental dishonesty? It is because President Aquino’s position on any amendment to the Constitution has been consistent in the past four years: No way under his watch! This was the same position of his own mother, Corazon C. Aquino, when she was president and beyond in 1997 when she opposed the Charter Change that would extend the term of President Fidel V. Ramos.
