I can't imagine the horror if they win. Go will surely resign and we have duterte for another 6 years with this pandemic.

Or worse, whoever else would be president, would have an "accidental" death,& digong would succeed. I think only Isko (or maybr Pacquiao?) can beat him for vp.

i'm not a lawyer, but
if one looks up the official job description of the Vice President,
it is argueable that the immediate past President can not be Vice President.

Can you quote and link your source? That's interesting

the 1987 Constitution. article VII.

the 1987 Constitution. article VII.

"The President shall not be eligible for any re-election. No person who has succeeded as President and has served as such for more than four years shall be qualified for election to the same office at any time."


This one? The 1st statement with the word 'any' seems to mean any position, but the next statement said 'same office' which means the presidency only. But we have previous president that run for office again but at lower position like GMA. I wish they have made this statements clearer.

yes.
that is why i originally qualified my statement with "argueable".
whenever a law is argued, what must be kept in mind is the spirit that that law was designed to uphold.
to better understand the spirit of that law, let us remember the prevailing political atmosphere at that time.
"they had just toppled someone who had stayed in power for longer than the then-mandated 4 + 4 = 8 years only."

gma's case was unique.
she was not elected into the presidency the first time; it was thrust unto her by the law. it was argued that she did not fall under the no-re-election rule.
can we imagine if vice presidents thrust into the presidency, were not allowed to run for president the next term?
no one would want to run for vice president!

I'm talking about GMA being elected as congresswoman after being president. Comparing that to Duterte to be elected as VP. The only difference is the position, and GMA is in local office.

If GMA were allowed to run and win in another public office, why wouldn't they allow run on a "different" public office for duterte?

As I said, these law should be made clearer.

As professor Agabin said,if there's a conflict between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law,the latter must prevail,this may go way up,to the SC

some arguers say there's no law preventing the immediate past President from running for congressman.

if the immediate past President is not allowed to become President again, why elect him to a position whose sole official job description is exactly that which he is not allowed to do?
i think retired SC justice carpio agrees with me.

see!
"argueable."

but as i was still half-asleep...
i am sure, the news will be re-iterated later toaday.

... ang gulo nila!
parang mga hinete, jockeying for position in the nation's wildest race...

Last night, Bunggo announced that he is not that keen on Presidency, para bang tabang. After campaigning, giving away shoes, epal relief goods…. Wala rin palang gana tumakbo.

yes, he has mentioned it several times in the recent past. but...
" i'll believe it when i see it. "
on the last day of filing for candidacy.
heh heh.

In the US Constitution, the president cannot run for VP. That would make it very clear. Maybe our Philippine Constitution framers underestimated the greed for power of politicians after Macoy.

I'd be more wary of a BBM-SARA tandem. Because that will put the whole syndicate together.
