Incoming justice secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla said that for now, the government of president-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. would not be “rocking the boat” by abolishing 1987 creations that directly impacted their family.
“…Many people are telling me why not have the Senate regionally elected instead of nationally elected, it would be less cost,” he said. It’s essentially a path to federalism, said Remulla.
President Rodrigo Duterte got as far as creating a consultative committee, which in turn, got as far as submitting a“Hopefully, I would still have to consult him on that, it’s a personal point of view of mine, based on what people have told me, the discussions I’ve had with many of the lawmakers, and we will wait and see. It’s a honeymoon period now, might be the only chance that we can amend the Constitution,” said Remulla.
Another such agency is the Commission on Human Rights , created by the 1987 Constitution and mandated to investigate state abuses. It was a response to the abuses committed under the dictator’s Martial Law. “This is the paradox of all, the person who is to assume office was very much affected by the way this Constitution was passed…he will swear, he will obey the Constitution, so be it, he will do that, I have no problem, but it’s just a paradox I want to point out,” said Remulla.
Sino ba ang may gustong pi-pick-up-in ka, ang bata-bata mo, tapos ang mga kaharap mo nakakatakot, ayaw ko nunRemulla, whose father, former Cavite governor Juanito Remulla, was a staunch ally of the late dictator, said that remembering needs to include the other dark years of the country, like the Spanish, Japanese, and American colonization periods
