An unfavorable judgment against the heirs of the late dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos including his son and namesake could lead to a constitutional crisis, political analysts said at the weekend. READ:
“A decision that is unfavorable to President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. could lead to a constitutional crisis because the agent that is supposed to execute the lawful order of the court, which is the Philippine National Police is actually under the direct control of the president being its commander in chief,” Marlon M. Villarin, who teaches political science at the University of Santo Tomas, said in a Viber message.
His family was originally set to present initial evidence at a hearing set for July 7, but the Sandiganbayan, the country’s anti-graft court, reset the proceedings for a pre-trial hearing on Aug. 5.Last month, the Sandiganbayan’s Second Division in a 13-page order allowed the Marcos family to present evidence after rejecting the government’s motion to waive the family’s right to present evidence.
Mr. Villarin noted that the outcome of the case could “test the resiliency” of the presidency as an institution. That same year, his successor, the late President Corazon C. Aquino created the PCGG to recover ill-gotten assets allegedly amassed by the Marcoses and his cronies during his two-decade reign, almost half of which was under martial rule.
“While he said countless times that it is time to move on and start with current cases of corruption, he has no moral ascendancy to expect other officials to be clean,” Ms. Atienza said. In a speech that echoed his unity campaign slogan, Mr. Marcos, 64, vowed to fulfill his promises to Filipinos without any excuses, including giving them better lives. He urged the people to work with his government, adding that “we will go very far under my watch.“
