The former ruling Liberal Party (LP) will oppose a possible term extension for President Rodrigo Duterte, Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon said Wednesday.
Drilon was sought for comment on Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III’s statement that Duterte’s six-year term may be extended “if really necessary” and “if he is amenable to it” during the transition to a federal form of government.
“The cat is out of the bag! At least, the real purpose of federalism is out—term extension! LP will oppose such immoral proposition,” Drilon said.
Duterte’s six-year term will end in 2022.
