(ENGLISH) "If elected president, I will not recognize a Chief Justice
appointed by the outgoing President, contrary to the constitutional ban on
appointments during the wee hours of her presidency, and contrary to Stay Connected

“Let me forewarn any member of the Supreme Court who shall accept to be on the latest news about Noynoy,
Chief Justice by appointment of the outgoing President, that not only shall the elections, and the issues that
he not be recognized, but he risks even his presence in the Court as an face the nation.
associate member." (January 14, 2010)
Email Address:
(FILIPINO) "Ganito po ang nangyayari kapag hindi tinutularan ng mga anak
ang magandang asal ng kanilang magulang. Ang isang halimbawa po nito
ay si Presidente Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, na nagbabalak na hindi sumunod
sa ginawa ng kanyang sariling ama na si Dating Pangulong Diosdado
Macapagal nang baliwalain nito ang pagtalaga ni Dating Pangulong Carlos
P. Garcia ng gobernador ng Bangko Sentral dahil nilabag nito ang batas
ukol sa midnight appointments, na nakapaloob sa ating Saligang Batas.

Ipinapakita lamang po nito sa ating mga Pilipino na hindi po titigil ang

administrasyon sa hangarin nitong palawigin ang kanilang impluwensiya at
kapangyarihan sa pamamagitan ng paglabag sa mismong batas na dapat
nitong pinagpapatibay." (January 15, 2010)

(ENGLISH) "To this day, the administration has done nothing more than
label those who oppose the appointment of the next Chief Justice by GMA
as ignorant and ill-advised. This only shows the fact that it has failed to
address the clear unconstitutionality of the President's intended action. As a
legislator, I am not only duty-bound to abide and uphold our Constitution but
also to defend a co-equal and necessary institution like the Supreme Court,
which stands as the last bulwark of democracy, from those who wish to
manipulate it for their personal ends.”

"I will not merely stand by and watch our countrymen lose faith in the
integrity and independence of the judiciary because of this administration's
plan to wield power beyond allowable limits." (January 17, 2010)

“Ako po ay isang mamamayan. Ako po ay isang Senador ng Republika na

nangakong “to defend and uphold the Constitution.” Makikita po natin sa
Saligang Batas na napaka-klaro ng probisyon: bawal mag-appoint ang
Presidente 2 months before a Presidential election up to the end of the term.
Ang sinasabing appointment kapag kritikal ay sa executive department, hindi
sa judiciary. Walang ifs and buts doon.” (Dos Por Dos Interview, DZBB,
January 26, 2010)
