Ang supreme court lamang ang magsasabi - solon
 
“ANG KORTE SUPREMA LAMANG,”  ito ang naging reaksyon ng  mga Kongresista sa naging pagbabanta ni
constitutionalist Father Joaquin Bernas,  na masisira ang kredibilidad ng Kataas-taasang hukuman kung
hahayaan itong magdesisyon kung sakaling kuwestyonin ang pagtatalaga ng  Pangulo ng papalit kay Chief
Justice Reynato Puno na magreretiro sa Mayo 17.




Naniniwala sina Speaker Prospero Nograles Jr., Camiguin Rep. Pedro Romualdo at Quezon Rep. Danilo
Suarez na  nasa Korte Suprema pa rin ang pagdedesisyon  kung naayon o may kamalian ba sa batas ang
gagawin ni Pangulo na magtalaga ng papalit kay Puno.


“Why it would be dangerous to the credibility of the Supreme Court when it is their function as the last bulwark
of democracy to make final judgment on legal controversies?” tanong ni Romualdo.



Dahil pumapasok ang May 17, araw ng pagreretiro ni Puno sa dalawang buwang pinagbabawal ng batas na
magtalaga ang  Pangulo ng mga bagong opisyal bago ang presidential election mababakante ang iiwang
puwesto ni Puno.


Nagbanta pa si Bernas na posibleng maharap sa isang impeachment case  ang itatalaga ng Pangulo, Pero
para kay Nograles, “Maybe the good priest is saying that in case a presidential candidate wins the mandate of
being the next President and he is not satisfied with the appointment of the Chief Justice by President
Arroyo because he made an offense that is impeachable then by all
means he can be impeached.”



Kung sakaliman mangyari umano ang banta babala ng Pari sa itatalaga ng Pangulo, nanatili pa rin umano
nakadipende sa numero kung ano ang kasasapitan ng reklamo “my point is impeachment is still a numbers
game. If you don’t have the required number of votes, you cannot impeach the Chief Justice.”
 
Senate President Enrile, delikado maging interim President
 
“DELEKADO MAGING INTERIM PRESIDENT SI ENRILE,” ito ang pangamba ng isang militanteng Kongresista
kung sakaling hindi matuloy ang pambansang halalan ngayon taon.


Paliwanag ni Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares,  bilang utak ng Martial law ng panahon ni dating Pangulong
Ferdinand Marcos, delikado kung si Enrile umano ang pansamantalang hahalili bilang pangulo kung
sakaling mag-No  Election senaryo o no-el.



Nanawagan naman ang Kongresista sa Senador na bitiwan na lamang ang pagiging pangulo ng senado,
alang-alang na rin umano sa ikabubuti ng mamayan. At  dahil magtatapos ang termino ni Enrile sa Hunyo 30,
mainan umano na maipasa na ang kanyang pamunuan upang masigurado na magpapatuloy ang nakasaad
sa salinggang batas na puwedeng pagpasahan ng pangulo ng kanyang kapangyarihan kung sakaling hindi
matuloy ang eleksyon.



“Yes, he (Enrile) should step down not only because he cannot succeed in case of failure of election because
his term ends on June 30, and secondly, he is a dangerous interim president being the remorseless Martial
Law administrator of (former President Ferdinand) Marcos,” ani Colmenares, kasabay ng pag-giit na ibigay
niya ang kanyang termino sa isang Senador na magtatapos ang termino sa Hunyo 2013.



Kinundina naman ni Colmanares  ang pahayag ni Enrile  na puwedeng humalili ang Armed Forces of the
Philippines at Philippine National Police (PNP),  kung sakaling hindi matuloy ang eleksyon.



“His (Enrile) statement that the AFP and PNP will take over in case of failure of election makes him more
dangerous. He will not step down once he succeeds. If he will not resign, senators should replace him. The
people will not forgive the senators if they refuse to replace him despite the threat he poses,” ani Colmenares.



Sa House Bill No. 3194 ni Nueva Ecija Rep.  Edno Joson  o maskilala sa tawag na “succession bill” na sa
kasalukuyan ay na aprubahan na ng House committee on revision noong  Septembre 15, 2009,  
iminungkahing ang “most senior” sa labing dalawang  12 senator– na magtatapos ang termino sa  2013 –
ang tatayong pansamantalang Pangulo kung sakaling mabigo ang 2010 automated election.



Ang sinasabing “most senior” ay kumakatawan sa isang Senador na may pinakamaraming botong nakuha
sa nakaraang senatorial elections.

Batay sa opisla na resulta noong 2007 elections, na ngunguna si  Sen. Loren Legarda  na may botong
18,069,466.



Kasunod naman niya si Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero, na may botong  17,858,416.
