Published July 2, 2021 1:14pm President Rodrigo Duterte can run for vice president in the May 2022 elections since such a scenario is not expressly prohibited by the 1987 Constitution, the head of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) said Friday. “The Constitution does not explicitly prohibit a president from running for another office after his term as president. What it prohibits is a reelection,” IBP president Domingo Cayosa said. “[There is] no express legal impediment.” Former presidents Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Joseph Estrada were elected as Pampanga congresswoman and Manila mayor, respectively, after leaving Malacañang. Cayosa’s statement comes after Duterte announced on Thursday that the public should consider him a candidate for vice president “at this time” amid calls from his party-mates in PDP-Laban to gun for the country’s second highest elective post.
Press Release
Before entertaining thoughts of arming civilian volunteers to help stop criminality, the Philippine National Police (PNP) should focus on showing it can protect them, Senator and former PNP Chief Panfilo M. Lacson said.
Lacson also reiterated the PNP must be stricter especially in issuing Permits to Carry Firearms Outside Residences (PTCFORs) to civilians including senators, congressmen and other ranking government officials. The PNP should make it a point first to show that it is efficient, professional, and competent to protect civilians on the streets from malefactors - including those with unlicensed guns and irresponsible gun holders that make them a threat - before it issues PTCFORs to deputize civilian volunteers as force multipliers, Lacson, who headed the PNP from 1999 to 2001, said in an interview on TeleRadyo.
