Noynoy Aquino wants Barangay Chairman to anoint him President :S

Philippines
May 15, 2010 11:56am CST
Hello lotters, I just wanna open this up. this is one of first things that really annoys me. Gloria did him a favor for appointing a new Chief Justice to anoint him as the new President in June 30 and i thought it was bad enough for Noynoy to say thank you to her but bad enough to know that he prefers a Barangay Chairman of Tarlac to Anoint him in June 30. What the hell is WRONG with him! first he thanks her and now he ignores the new Chief Justice. what? some one told him that it's unconstitutional that he abruptly changed his mind? this will show the executive departments defiance and embarrassment to the Judicial System. Oh, well, that's just the beginning. don't say we didn't warn you

Hello! You might want to read our constitution again. There is nothing that says that he has to swear before the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Gloria is not doing him or the country any favor by making a controversial appointment which may be set aside in the future. Note that the appointment was made before a vacancy was made, that is it was done prior to the retirement of a sitting CJ. No less than the spokesperson of the SC said that an appointment to a position which is not vacant is not valid. If Noynoy swears before someone where there is a cloud of doubt, then his presidency will be under question. I return your question to you, what is wrong with you?

I totally agree with TheAdvocate. You may want to think about the appointment GMA made, CJ Puno isn't even retired yet, and yet Gloria still appointed a new CJ. And we all know that the president cannot make appointments 2 months before the election. The SC said that it was okay, but remember all those SC who said yes were all appointed by GMA. I am with Noynoy in not recognizing the power of the newly appointed CJ. He was not appointed in good faith, and even if the SC said that the appointment is okay, I still do not believe that GMA had the power to appoint a new CJ in these circumstances.

Hello there, Then why the thanks? when he can say NO thanks i'd rather go for a Barangay? who can fight this? and have Puno retained as Chief Justice, no wonder winnie monsod rallied as well. What's wrong with me is that ordinary people not much familiar with the constitution will get a bad impression of noynoy acquino being appointed by Barangay Captain. nothings wrong with me, something is surely wrong with what's going in the Supreme Court, makes me wanna doubt in they're Legitimacy. if they knew that Arroyo can't appoint CJ two months ago, then somethings wrong with them, not me..:D :D :D i guess give em a call and ask them that.

i wonder if noynoy will help our country at all to the goal of the country to move forward and to be a developed country. i don't like him acting so arrogantly as early as now while he is not yet proclaimed officially as president. not to be so negative about him being our next president but his actions seem to make me think that way. hope whatever weird things he does and will do on the coming that it won't any effect on the country's economic development.

hello hotsummer, and the fact that he didn't explain earlier why he objected Arroyo's quick change of Supreme Court is really that bothered me first. i hope the Supreme Court gives an explanation of this trouble they started with. as for Noynoy, his troubles had begun, Gloria just couldn't get out of that grasp of power that she has now

Gloria made sure that as he go out, She has hold the nose of the SC. If she can't make to the House of speakership, at least she can still lean on the SC.

gloria did the right thing. to make sure she will still have some influence and will not be in the mercy or coming administration. it is just natural for any outgoing president to do such thing. even former president estrada, when things were not going his way, did some things also for his favor so that before he left the palace by force he would still have some hope he will survive his situation. and he did. though most of it were of the help of the people.

Hi, LK (LetranKnight is quite too long to type yet I am still typing it here. Hope you don't mind me calling you LK). You know what. Can I say this in CAPS coz the news made a very arrogant impression on me. He is not appointed as a President yet he is making his very first unhonorable controversy. WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS???? I was really embarrassed for him because, yes, your point. He's making fun of the Chief Justice. First, all of us here in the Philippines honor how the Supreme Court rules and that mainly because of the Chief Justice!!! It's like he is saying that he doesn't trust anyone. He is not only making a bad move on the Chief Justice but to everyone. Oh, Noynoy. Please grow some hair. Maybe it's one of the reasons why he's being so irritant.

Hello there TUD Well, it's the Supreme Court that has the problem, they allowed Arroyo to change the Chief Justice, makes me doubt the loyalty of the Chief Justice, whether whom they are loyal to, the People or the Outgoing President? it's his prerogative i guess, but i hope he explains it well to the public so that others wouldn't be suspicious.

@letran. at least this time you said that it is the problem made by the supreme court so why not let noy do what he wants. anyway, there is no provision in the law that disallows the highest ranking official to take oath before the lowest ranking official.

everyone in the supreme court is appointed by the president. it is the same thing with the prosecutors, they are appointed by the chief executive. as this is stated in the constitution. the president on the other hand is not an appointive position, this is an elective position. taking oath before an official is just like an extravagant thing for a high position but nothing in the constitution states that the president should take his oath of office before the chief justice, or the chief justice before the president, etc.

Section 5 of Article II of the 1987 Constitution states: Before they enter on the execution of their office, the President, the Vice-President, or the Acting President shall take the following oath or affirmation: but there was no provision on to whom the President should take oath. so probably, he can do the swearing of his oath to any one who is allowed by the law to administer the oath. based in our history, the former presidents took their oath of office before high ranking officials of the supreme court. and as stated in a news that i have read, this is the tradition. but take note, it is not mandatory to the Constitution. lastly, i want to make a correction. the president is an elected position. he is not going to be appointed by any one who will administer his oath of office. you keep telling in your posts the words "being appointed". i guess the two are of big difference, "appointed" and "elected".

Hello neildc, Then If noynoy feels that his Presidency will be questioned then it's alright i guess to have him being appointed by a barangay. so is there any thing else that a President elect should have other officials help him sworn the Presidency rather than just the Barangay officials? what about the judge of the local courts in tarlac, can they appoint him instead?

He is not yet proclaimed as the winner so why the hell he assumes decision about whom he is going to take oath? as to his reaction about Coronas's appointment, he showed an uttered arrogance. Before you can be a leader MR.NOYNOY, Follow first! duh...

hello Danzy, If you mentioned in your discussion that Corona's Appointment by Gma as a Chief Justice, unsconstitutional, then advocate maybe right, his Legitimacy as the President will be questioned, thus a road for impeachment. if Puno hasn't really retired yet then the Problem goes with GMA which she shouldn't have done since she's not allowed to make appointments within two months election period since she's an outgoing President

noynoy was my second choice for the presidency before but days before the election, i got really irritated by noynoy. first thing that irritated me is when he said that there would be another edsa revolution if there would be failure of election or if he didn't win the presidency. and now, that issue. i think he is getting too much. he's attitude problems show now.

Congratulations! on the success of your nation's recent election. What ever the outcome was, the voters have made their choice and it is time for everyone to close rank. Pray that the new President rule the nation without fear or favor that will see the prosperity of your country and peace prevail. He might have his own agenda for choosing who he wants to anoint him as the new President of the country.

hello zandi, actually, barangay chairman is like a position lower than a mayor, like mayor but only handles a less quarter of an area. it's embarrassing, he's embarrassing the chief justice of the Supreme Court. this could clash between the different departments of the Government, which is not good by th way

The very main reason why this country is in deep trouble is because of people returning favors or feel indebted because mr or ms so and so did something in his favor that he feels obligated to return that favor. If Noynoy takes his oath by the person whom GMA appointed then one way of another it would seem as if he is Gloria did him a favor.

hello ybong, she clearly didn't follow what the constitution states and we are in trouble, both gloria making a mess and noynoy choosing a barangay official appointing him president. but i thought puno is not retiring yet? if he does and replaced by another with the help of gloria then were inbig trouble

All I can say is that Noy must have been ruled by his pride of that stupid thing GMA did. Noy's pride is hurt here. He and his party should have to learn to let go of unpleasant things and just focus for the betterment of our nation. If GMA has put her self interest first before anything else, I hope Noy will just let down his hurt ego and just focus in our nation's building.

Hello elvira, Well, i think he's smarter than that but this move surely is stretching division within different branches of the government.Gma made a huge mess out of this and yet again she doesn't want to explain herself am sure she won't be questioned in the congress since she has more allies there than before
