STATEMENT OF VICE PRESIDENT JEJOMAR C. BINAY ON THE MOVE TO EXTEND THE TERM OF PRESIDENT AQUINO

MANILA-President Aquino, through Secretary Coloma, has made known his sentiments on term extension. We must respect his decision and end this politically-divisive initiative.

It was a selfish proposal to begin with, motivated more by personal rather than national interest.  It was also unfair to the President. The proposal put him on the spot and made him the object of criticisms, which he doesn't deserve.

Those who made the proposal don't know the President.  He is a decent person and 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.


President Cory rejected a similar move to extend her term. As a private citizen, she opposed similar moves by succeeding administrations. I am certain President Noynoy will follow the sterling example of his mother.
