When President Benigno S. Aquino 3rd admitted in mid-August that he was open to a second term in office, the main reason that he gave was very alarming. The vindictive P-Noy wants to check the powers of the Judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court that had ruled unanimously on the unconstitutionality of both the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) and the despicable Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP)

The puerile president claims that the Judiciary appears to be using its powers of judicial review to check on the Executive and Legislative branches without restraint. Mr. Aquino spoke of “judicial reach” wherein both “Congress and the Executive may act, but they can be punished anytime.” What a pathetic justification for a second term!
