He even said that he was ready for a third EDSA People Power Revolution should Aquino continue to shun calls of resignation.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from Aquino\u2019s refusal to step down from his office, Cojuanco was also dismayed with the President\u2019s inaction in making electoral reforms; his continued support to the BBL; and his endorsement to change the constitution and form a parliamentary government in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we have to remove him we will have the same way we did in the EDSA Revolution. We will set up new government,\u201d Conjuanco said in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>Cojuanco admitted that he already talked to people from different sectors and asked them the changes and reforms they desired for the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>Cojuanco also planned to organize a mass at the EDSA shrine on February 22, a rally in Makati City on February 23, and another rally in Luneta Park on February 24.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if people will come or not, in the same manner when Cory called for a rally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Malaca\u00f1ang, on the other hand, released a statement that said Aquino was still \u2018committed to fulfill his sworn duty until the completion of his term of office.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGinagampanan ng\u00a0 pangulo ang kanyang tungkulin at tinutupad and mandato ng kanyang mga boss na naghalal sa kanya.
