STATEMENT OF LIBERAL PARTY PRESIDENT SEN. FRANCIS PANGILINAN ON DEFYING THE SUPREME COURT AND CONGRESS

The President swore to uphold and defend the Constitution, not willfully defile it and do only as he wants. We call on patriotic and sober cabinet members as well as armed forces leadership to assert themselves, to speak truth to the President, to caution and urge him not to violate the Constitution and his oath of office. We urge all our cabinet members and the Armed Forces to be true to their own respective oaths of office. Do not allow yourselves to be used as instruments in acts of reckless disregard of our constitutional democracy.

No one is above the law, not even the President. We oppose any violation of the Constitution on matters pertaining to the martial law declaration. To allow the President to disregard the Constitution is to open the gates to dictatorship. This we vigorously oppose. Might is not right. We call on all citizens to come together and unite to defend the Constitution, our democracy, and the rule of law. We call for courage, for bearers of light to stand against the looming tide of darkness upon our land.
