Chief Justice Reynato Puno Warns of "Social Volcano" — Says "Walang Tunay na Katwirang Magdiwang ng Kalayaan Kung Ganito ang Kalagayan ng Inang Bayan"

12 June 2009

Chief Justice Reynato Puno led the flag raising ceremonies in today's Independence Day festivities at the Monumento in Caloocan City but in his speech, the country's chief magistrate stressed, "Wala pong tunay na katwiran magdiwang ng ating kalayaan kung ganito ang kalagayan ng ating Inang Bayan!"

"Isang bansa na gaya ng isang bulkan, ay tila handa nang sumabog," that was how the Chief Justice characterized the present state of Philippine society especially given the administration ongoing attempt to effect charter change through the much-criticized Con-Ass or constituent assembly.
