President Abnoy, his cohorts in Congress and the yellow zombies still believe that they have the monopoly of goodness. Now they’ve gotten worst. They want to trample the constitution and still want people to believe that they’re just cleaning the bureaucracy and they’re doing it for the good of the country. There is nothing wrong with being a reformist government but they should make sure that their reforms are within the law.
The issue started when the Abnoy government wants to take control of the Judiciary’s P1.25- billion fund for unfilled positions, saying it would release the funds only when new personnel were hired. SC Chief Justice Renato Corona warned that this violated the Court’s fiscal autonomy that was constitutionally guaranteed.
Because their proposed budget maybe declared as unconstitutional, Abnoy’s allies in the House of Representatives are now threatening to impeach the Justices who would vote for the unconstitutionality of the proposed law. Prior to that, House Minority Leader Edcel Lagman issued a statement that they would question before Supreme Court the stripping of the P1.25 billion Judiciary fund.
Like any other proposals of President Abnoy, the proposed law is bound to be junked by the Supreme Court. I believe that SC will insist on its independence. I don’t think that the mud sliding and PR war waged against them by Pres. Abnoy’s government will affect them. This is the beauty of democracy.
