MANILA — Vice President Jejomar Binay said the proposal of Interior Secratary Mar Roxas to extend the term of the President, a proposal\u00a0“which he doesn’t deserve,” is “selfish.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was a selfish proposal to begin with, motivated more by personal rather than national interest,” he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Binay, as quoted in a Philippine Star report said the proposal is a\u00a0“politically-divisive sentiment” that will harm the President’s respect for the laws made by his mother,\u00a0former President Corazon Aquino.<\/span><\/p>\n

Binay was referring to the constitutional rule allowing only a single term for each head of state.<\/p>\n

“President Aquino, through Secretary [Herminio] Coloma, has made known his sentiments on term extension. We must respect his decision,” Binay said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Those who made the proposal don’t know the President. He is a decent person who will not cling to power. He is a student of history, and he won’t tarnish his mother’s good name just to please some personalities,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
